CHEESY CHICKEN TOMATILLO CASSEROLE
CHEESY Chicken Tomatillo Casserole recipe! This easy Mexican dinner casserole uses 1 pound of tomatillos to make a creamy sauce that is layered with tortilla chips, chicken, black beans and cheddar cheese! I love to make this simple dish when my garden tomatillo plants give me too much and I'm left asking asking "What to do!".

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Add tomatillos, onion, green pepper, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, garlic, lime juice and salt to a food process or blender. Blend until smooth and no chunks from the vegetables are left. Pour mixture into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes.
- Add chicken to tomatillo sauce mixture and continue cooking for 10 more minutes. If sauce is very liquidy turn up the heat. Important: you want to try to reduce all the extra liquid or it will make your casserole soggy.
- Spread 1/2 of the tortilla chips in a 8x8 baking dish. Add 1/2 of your chicken tomatillo mixture on top. Add 1/2 of black beans on top. Add 1/2 of cheese on top. Repeat one more time.
- Bake for 35 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
TAMALE CASSEROLE WITH CHICKEN AND ROASTED-TOMATILLO SALSA
This casserole is baked in a pie plate and is a simple way to use a classic tamale batter. Although it lacks some of the flourish of individually steamed packets, it's a dish that welcomes a variety of fresh fillings and flavor.

Steps:
- Heat the broiler. Place the tomatillos on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet 4 inches below the heating element. Broil tomatillos, turning once, until soft and blackened in spots, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove baking sheet from broiler, and set aside until tomatillos are cool. Position the oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Reduce the temperature to 425 degrees. Lightly oil an 8-inch pie plate; set plate aside.
- Place garlic in a medium skillet set over medium heat. After 5 minutes, add chiles. Cook, turning occasionally, until chiles and garlic are soft and blackened in spots, about 10 minutes more. Remove skillet from heat; set aside to cool. Peel the garlic.
- Transfer the tomatillos, any accumulated juice, chiles, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor or the jar of a blender. Cover, and pulse until a coarse puree forms. Transfer puree to a medium bowl.
- Place the onions in a sieve, and rinse under cold running water. Drain, and add to tomatillo mixture along with cilantro and salt; stir salsa until combined.
- Measure 3/4 cup salsa into a medium saute pan, and stir in the chicken. Set over medium heat, and cook, stirring, until chicken becomes tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
- Spread half of the tamale batter over bottom of prepared pie plate. Spread the chicken filling evenly over the batter, then spread remaining batter over chicken.
- Bake until golden, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce temperature to 300 degrees, and lightly brush top of pie with oil; loosely cover with foil. Continue baking until golden and center springs back when touched, about 35 minutes more. Remove casserole from oven, and let stand 5 minutes.
- Cut the casserole into wedges. Serve casserole warm, and drizzle with the remaining tomatillo salsa; if salsa is too thick to drizzle, thin with 1 or 2 tablespoons water.
SUEGRA'S TOMATILLO CHICKEN
Chicken pieces are seared and then simmered in a tomatillo sauce. This is my mother in law's recipe from the state of Zacatecas, Mexico. Serve with warm tortillas and your choice of rice or beans as side. We recommend a cold cola pop to accompany your delicious meal.

TOMATILLO VERDE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
A fast take on traditional enchiladas, this spicy casserole is easy to pull together and makes plenty for leftovers. Also, healthy ingredients can be substituted (especially if you're like me and have to make due with items in your fridge or pantry when you forget to pick-up the sour cream at the store). Can also be made ahead and reheated when desired.

Steps:
- Preheat over to 350 degrees.
- -Unpeel the tomatillos and rinse them in the sink. Cut them into quarters and throw them into a food processor (a blender can also be used).
- -Add the sliced jalapeno, garlic, as well as the squeezed lime and cilantro.
- -Add a few pinches of fresh ground salt and pepper and run food processor until all ingredients are blended together.
- -Pour mixture into a sauce pan over low heat. Let simmer for 10 minutes to bring out the taste in the tomatillos. They should slowly change from a bright green to paler shade.
- As the verde is simmering, you can start to get the rest of your ingredients ready for the casserole.
- -Cut up your cooked chicken breast and put it into your food processor. Course a few times until the chicken is shredded. Should yield just over a cup. Put into a bowl and put to the side.
- -Grate the jalapeno jack. Pending on your taste, a 1/2 cup - cup will do. Put into another bowl and to the side.
- I prefer a round pie dish, though a rectangular casserole dish can be substituted, as well.
- -Spray your dish with a non-stick spray and in the bottom, line with 3 corn tortillas and try to cover as much as the dish as possible though there will be overlap, as well as uncovered corners.
- The Tomatillo Verde sauce should now be a pale shade of green. Add the cottage cheese or sour cream and stir until well-blended. Leave on the heat for another 1-2 min stirring regularly.
- -With a spoon scoop onto the corn tortillas until covered. Add a handful of chicken and a handful of cheese until covered. Add a few sliced jalapenos for taste.
- -Repeat 3 more corn tortillas on top of the first layer; sauce, chicken and cheese.
- -You should finish the dish with 3 tortillas on top and enough sauce to drizzle over so they don't burn. I also like to finish with a sprinkling of cheese and a few jalapenos for garnish.
- -Put in oven for 30-35 minutes. Garnish with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream. Cut into pie slices and serve.

- SAUCE: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the tomatillos and jalapeño peppers on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil. Wrap the garlic cloves up in a small piece of foil, drizzling the with a bit of oil as well before you wrap it up. Place the foil garlic packet on the baking sheet with the tomatillos. Roast for 15 minutes – stir once to prevent burning, and roast for another 15 minutes. Unwrap the foil and transfer the roasted garlic, tomatillos, and jalapeños to a food processor. Add the cilantro and green onions. Pulse until mostly smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the broth, sour cream, and oil.
- CHICKEN: While the sauce is roasting, bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the chicken, turn heat off, and cover tightly. Let rest for 30 minutes. This will poach the chicken – it should be cooked by the time the sauce is done. When it’s done, shred the chicken and reserve the water.
- ASSEMBLE: Dip a tortilla in the hot water from step two until it’s very soft. Lay it on the bottom of a greased 9-inch square baking dish. Cut the next tortilla in half, dip the halves in the water, and place them in the corners of the pan. Layer with half of the chicken, one third of the sauce, and one third of the cheese. Repeat layers. End with a final layer of tortillas, sauce, and cheese.
- BAKE: Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes until hot and bubbly – I’d put a pan underneath to catch sauce drips. Sprinkle with extra cilantro before serving.
