DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Heat 1 tsp. oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla. Sprinkle tortilla with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with another tortilla and press with spatula to compact. Cook until cheese melts and tortillas are crisp and light golden, about 2 minutes per side.

Transfer to work surface. Repeat with remaining tortillas and cheese, adding more oil by teaspoonfuls as necessary. Cut tortillas into quarters. Place on platter and serve with Salsa Verde.

3:
Combine tomatillos, onions and water in heavy large saucepan. Boil until tomatillos are tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to processor; process until chunky puree forms.

Chill until cool, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.) Stir cilantro, chiles, and garlic into salsa. Season to taste with salt.
