Entomatadas

 1 1⁄2 lb. tomatoes
1 poblano pepper
2 garlic cloves
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
3⁄4 c. white onion, finely diced
Salt to taste
8 corn tortillas
2 chicken breasts, cooked then shredded
8 oz. queso fresco, crumbled
Vegetable oil to fry tortillas

 

Slice tomatoes in half then place tomatoes cut side down, poblano, and garlic cloves in a saucepan and cover with water. Cook over medium heat for about 15- 20 minutes until soft.

Once tomatoes and pepper are cooked, place in a blender or food processor, and process until you have a very smooth sauce.
 

Heat 1 Tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over a medium high heat. Add the onion and cook until transparent and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Add the tomato sauce to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, season with salt, and then turn the heat to low and simmer for about 6-8 minutes, covered.

In a small separate skillet, heat oil over medium heat and briefly fry the tortillas one by one and place on a plate with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. 

Once you fried all the tortillas, dip them one by one into the warm tomato sauce. Make sure to flip the tortilla to cover both sides with the tomato sauce.

Place tortilla on a plate and spoon in some cheese and chicken. Fold the tortilla and proceed with the rest of the tortillas. Once you have all your entomatadas ready, spoon some of the leftover sauce over them and top with more cheese.
