Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Preheat broiler to high.

Arrange tomatillos, white onions, garlic and peppers on foil-lined baking sheet and lightly spray. Broil and blister, then cool and peel and seed peppers. Place ingredients in a food processor, add juice of 1 lime, agave or honey, cumin, salt and pepper, and oregano, then process until smooth. 

Separate red onion into rings and dress with juice of 1 lime and season with salt and pepper.

Switch oven to 425˚F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment or foil.  

In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, salt, pepper, cumin, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, garlic, cilantro and oil. Form patties and arrange four 8-9 inch patties on baking sheet. Bake to golden, about 8-9 minutes, and top with sauce, dollops of crema or sour cream, and cheeses. Switch broiler on and brown and bubble the cheeses.

Garnish patties with cilantro, pickled red onions and pickled jalapeño pepper rings.
