INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 (15 oz.) can Juanita’s Queso Blanco Spicy Poblano 
  • 17.6 oz. dough for corn tortillas
  • 10.5 oz. green tomatoes, cut into quarters
  • 1/2  white onion, cut into half
  • 1 clove garlic, halved
  • 3.5 oz.  grams cilantro
  • 1 serrano chili
  • 1/4 onion, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon powdered chicken bouillon
  • Grated fresh cheese to taste.
  • 2-3 tablespoons of Sour cream
  • 1 cup of Vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste

STEP BY STEP:

  1. Empty the can of Juanita’s Queso Blanco Spicy Poblano into a bowl and place into the freezer to cool down and get thicker. 
  2. Cut the green tomatoes, onion, and garlic, and place them into a pot of water. Heat the water until it reaches 212 °F then cook until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Once cooked, blend the serrano chiles, cilantro, cooked tomatoes, garlic, onion and a tablespoon of chicken bouillon or salt, with a little water until smooth. 
  4. Pour the blended green sauce into a pot and let it cook for 5 minutes. Set aside.
  5. Add some vegetable oil to a frying pan and turn on the stove to medium heat.
  6. While the oil heats up, mold tortilla dough into the size balls of a golf ball with your hands and then flatten them into tortillas using a tortilla press.
  7. Cut each tortilla in half and fill with the Juanta’s Poblano Cheese Sauce from the freezer. Fold and press the edges to form a triangle.
  8. When the oil is hot, fry the cheese-filled tortillas until golden and crispy. Remove from the oil by placing and pressing them onto absorbent paper to drain excess oil.
