How to make it

  • For the sauce: In a small saucepan, over high heat, combine the cream, allspice and salt.
  • Bring to a simmer."
  • Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until reduced by one-third.
  • Pass through a fine mesh strainer to remove any film, and set aside to cool.
  • For the filling:
  • Cut the chilies into 1/2-by-2-inch strips.
  • In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over high heat.
  • Add the onion and saute for 3 to 5 minutes, until translucent, lowering the heat if necessary.
  • Add the chili strips and the chicken, and gently stir until evenly mixed.
  • Season with salt and remove from heat.
  • To finish:
  • Preheat the broiler. In a 8-by-10 inch casserole, spread the chicken mixture in an even layer.
  • Spread the cream sauce on top.
  • Cover with cheese.
  • Place the casserole under the broiler for 10 to 15 minutes, until all ingredients have melted together and top is lightly browned.
  • Remove from the broiler and sprinkle with cilantro.
  • Serve immediately with warm tortillas.
  • Cheats: Pre-cooked store-bought chicken and good quality tortilla chips will make quick work of this dish.
  • Do-ahead: The sauce and the filling can be made in advance and kept covered and refrigerated overnight.
  • Let them sit out at room temperature about an hour before broiling.
