Step-by-Step Instructions for Jorge's Green Chilaquiles
  1. Begin by charring the tomatillos in a skillet over medium heat for about 10-11 minutes, turning until they are softened and slightly browned. Blend with onion, garlic, cilantro, water, and salt until smooth.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in the same skillet, pour the blended salsa, bring it to a gentle boil, and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt as necessary.
  3. In a large skillet, layer half of your tortilla chips, half of the shredded chicken, and 1 cup of salsa. Drizzle with media crema and repeat the layering process.
  4. Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling.
  5. Carefully remove from heat, serve hot garnished with additional salsa and cilantro.
