Ingredients

6 corn tortillas, cut into quarters
cooking spray
12 ounces tomatillo verde Mexican cooking sauce (such as Herdez®)
½ cup crumbled queso fresco
¼ cup Mexican crema, crema fresca
¼ white onion, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place corn tortilla pieces on the prepared baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 5 to 10 minutes.
Combine tortillas and tomatillo sauce in a skillet over medium heat and simmer until tortillas have softened, about 5 minutes. Spoon mixture into individual ramekins. Top with queso fresco, crema, and sliced onions. Garnish with cilantro.

Cook's Note:

If you can't find queso fresco, you could use a mild feta cheese instead. Substitute sour cream for cream Mexicana if desired.
