Method

  1. Roast the tomatillos, poblanos, jalapeno, and garlic under the broiler until charred and softened.
  2. Blend the roasted vegetables with cilantro and salt to make a vibrant salsa verde.
  3. Dip each tortilla in warm salsa, fill with chicken, roll tightly, and arrange in a baking dish.
  4. Pour the remaining salsa over the top, scatter with cheese, and bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes.
