Tomatillo Salsa:

Peel the outer thin skins of the tomatillos and dice. Mix with
onions, garlic, lime juice, oregano, chilies, cilantro, salt, and

Heat the oil. Fill and roll the tortillas with the shredded chicken,
hold closed with toothpicks. Deep fry until crisp and drain. Serve
topped with the tomatillo sauce and crumbled queso fresco.
