- 24 ounces salsa verde / tomatillo salsa (or 3 cups of my <a href="https://www.365daysofbakingandmore.com/salsa-verde/">homemade salsa verde</a>)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small onion
+ 7 more ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. and prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray. Put 1 ½ cups of the salsa verde into the bottom of the pan making sure it is evenly dispersed.
Melt butter in pan over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Saute for about 3 minutes until soft. Add green chiles and cream cheese, and stir until soft, well blended and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and mix in chicken until well coated.
Place mixture close to the edge of the tortillas, filling each with 3 tablespoons (or small cookie scoops) of chicken filling, 1 tablespoon of cheddar cheese and two tablespoons Mexican cheese. Roll the tortilla over to cover the filling, fold the sides in and continue rolling.
Put the tortillas into the prepared baking dish, seam side down. Cover with remaining Mexican shredded cheese and salsa verde. the top with queso fresco.
Bake for 25 minutes.
