Ingredients

12 corn tortillas
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
Green sauce: tomatillos, jalapeños, garlic, onion, cilantro

Make the sauce: boil tomatillos and peppers until soft, then blend with garlic, onion, and cilantro. Simmer in a pan for 10 minutes.
Lightly fry the tortillas in oil for a few seconds per side just to soften. Dip in the warm sauce.
Fill each tortilla with chicken, roll up, and place in a baking dish.
Pour remaining sauce over the rolls. Top with cheese.
