Number of Servings:

Ingredients:

  1. 2 tablespoons - olive oil
  2. 1 - medium-size yellow onion chopped
  3. 3 cloves - garlic minced
  4. 1 1/2 teaspoons - ground cumin
  5. 1 cans - diced tomatoes (14.5 oz.) drained
  6. 1 1/4 cups - tomatillo salsa
  7. 4 cups - shredded cooked chicken
  8. 1 cups - crema or sour cream
  9. 6 - corn tortillas (6-inch) torn
  10. 8 ounces - Monterey Jack cheese shredded, divided
  11. 1 - small avocado diced
  12. - torn fresh cilantro leaves optional

Directions:

Preheat broiler to High. Place oil in medium-size cast-iron (or oven-proof) skillet, and heat over medium heat, swirling oil around to coat the pan.

Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cumin. Cook, stirring often, for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant.

Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in drained tomatoes and salsa. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat. Stir in chicken, crema, tortillas and 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Top evenly with remaining 1-1/2 cups cheese.

Transfer skillet to preheated oven, and broil until cheese is lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Top with avocado and cilantro leaves, as desired, before serving.
