• Let everyone help themselves.
• For each serving, fill a tortilla with some of the chicken and portions of the garnishes.
• Marinated onions: Reduce the stock to 1 cup in a small sauce pan.
• Add soy sauce and chiles; stir.
• Place onions in a medium bowl and pour the marinade over them.
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for several hours or overnight.

NINFA'S GREEN SAUCE

• In a medium saucepan, boil tomates, tomatillos, garlic, and jalapenos for 15 minutes.
• Remove from saucepan and place all ingredients in a blender with avocados.
• Add sour cream and blend until smooth.

NINFA'S RED SALSA

Steps:

• Place the dried chiles on a cookie sheet and toast in a 325-degree oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Stem and seed them, and then set aside.
• In a medium skillet, simmer the tomatoes and garlic, in just enough water to prevent scorching until softened-about 20 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree along with the cilantro, salt, toasted chiles, and if desired, jalapenos, for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sauté the pureed salsa in a skillet with hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes.
• If the salsa is pale, you may wish to add some tomato sauce to deepen the color.
• This salsa may be made in advance and either refridgerated or frozen.
