Ingredientes
- a package of corn tortillas (A pack of 12 works great. We like sprouted corn... )
- 2-3 cups tomatillo sauce (it helps to have a bit of this in the freezer, but you can make your own)
- 3 cups cooked chicken (again, nice to have this in the freezer)
- An onion
- a few cloves of garlic
- a teaspoon or so of cumin and smoked paprika
- salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 cup or so of chopped cilantro
- 8 oz sour cream
- 2-3 cups of grated cheese (Chihuahua, Monterey Jack, or whatever you have on hand)
