Pastel Azteca

I love this casserole, also known as 'sopa apastelada.' It has delicious, rich flavors. This time, for health reasons, I made it without poblano strips, but it usually includes that signature spicy Mexican touch.

Steps
- 1
Cut the tortillas in half and set aside.
- 2
In a pot, cook the chicken breast with onion and cilantro.
- 3
Roast the poblano peppers directly over the flame or on a grill. Wrap them in a towel, place in a bag, and let them rest for 10 minutes. Remove from the bag, peel off the skin, remove the seeds and veins, and cut into strips. Set aside.
- 4
Blend the tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, 1 tablespoon salt, and a little black pepper. Add some of the chicken cooking broth to make a sauce that's not too thick—prepare about 6 cups of sauce.
- 5
Slice or shred the Manchego cheese. Set aside.
- 6
Cut the remaining half onion into thin strips and sauté in a pot with hot oil. Once translucent, add the chicken bouillon, tomato sauce, and epazote. Cook the sauce until it turns a rich red color.
- 7
Grease a large baking dish with butter. Dip the tortilla halves in the sauce and layer them in the dish, alternating with shredded chicken and poblano strips, then a layer of cheese, finishing each layer with a little more sauce. Repeat until all ingredients are used. Finish with a layer of cheese and, if any remains, pour the last of the tomato sauce on top.
- 8
Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (180°C), or until the tortillas are well set and most of the moisture is absorbed.
- 9
Serve and garnish with a little sour cream and some cilantro leaves.
