Casserole of Chicken Tacos and Green Sauce
- 1/2 cup (85 ml) safflower oil, approximately, for frying
- 20 5-inch (12.5 cm) corn tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) thick creme fraiche
- 2 cups (500 ml) well-seasoned poached chicken for tacos, warmed through
- 2 cups (500 ml) eggs with chorizo and tomato, warmed through
- 2 cups (500 ml) salsa verde, warmed through
- Heat the oven to 375 (190C).
- Have ready a tray covered with two layers of paper toweling.
- Put a little of the oil into a small frying pan-it should be only about 1/8-inch (12 mm) deep-and heat.
- When the oil is hot but not smoking, immerse a tortilla until thoroughly warmed through and softened, about 10 seconds, but do not allow the edge to become crisp.
- Drain on paper toweling and repeat until all the tortillas have been fried.
- Meanwhile, heat the cream and allow to bubble and reduce for about 5 minutes.
- Immerse one of the tortillas-the cream should lightly coat it.
- Fill with the chicken, roll, and set onto a warmed dish.
- The second tortilla may be filled with the chorizo filling.
- Continue immersing in cream and filling a total of 10 tortillas-alternately with chicken and chorizo-to form the first layer.
- Spread with 1 cup salsa verde and a little of the remaining cream.
- Continue with the second layer until all the tortillas have been used up.
- Top with the remaining sauce and creme fraiche and bake in the top part of the oven until bubbling, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
