Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb tomatillo , husks discarded and cut into quarters
3 green serrano chilies, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup white onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, quartered
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 tbsp vegetable oil
12 (4 inch) corn tortillas
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
2 -3 tbsp crema ( sour cream)
1/3 cup white onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup queso fresco, finely crumbled ( mexican fresh cheese)

Directions:

Make salsa:.
Purée tomatillos, chiles, onion, garlic, salt, and water in a blender until smooth.
Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then carefully add tomatillo purée (oil will splatter) and simmer, stirring, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro and simmer 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl.
Make chalupas:.
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in cleaned dried skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then briefly cook tortillas, 3 at a time, until softened and hot but still pale, about 10 seconds per side, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer tortillas with tongs to paper towels to drain briefly, then to a large shallow baking pan in oven to keep warm, arranging tortillas in one layer (overlapping slightly if necessary) and covering pan with foil.
Spread each warm tortilla with about 1 teaspoon salsa, then top sparingly with a few shreds of chicken. Thin crema with a little water and drizzle over chicken, then sprinkle with onion and cheese. Serve immediately.
