This is the epitome of Mexican comfort food. Think of Pastel Azteca as the perfect blend of chilaquiles and chicken enchiladas. In Chihuahua, my hometown, we make Pastel Azteca Verde in a creamy poblano sauce. Still, other places in Mexico make a very similar recipe with a red tomato or tomatillo.

Cook the Chicken + Homemade Chicken Broth

1 breast chicken
1 stick celery
1 teaspoon salt
2 leaves bay leaves
1 clove garlic
1/4 piece onion
Pastel Azteca Poblano Green Sauce

7 pieces poblano
1 clove garlic
1/2 package Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Mexican Cream can subsitute for heavy cream
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Chicken bullion Knorr’s Suiza
Filling Extras

1 can corn kernel
3 pieces poblano Skin and seed less. Cut into thin strips
1 cup Chihuahua cheese substitute by any melting cheese. Preferred options are Manchego cheese or Oaxaca Cheese.

1/2 piece onion finely sliced

  3. My mom said that she is going to make pastel azteca this week, I haven’t eaten it in years bc I don’t like the texture of tortillas soaking up all the juice. But my mom looks so excited to make/eat it, that I am also extremely excited!! Even though it will have the texture that made me not eat many dishes of my ancestors, I’m happy to have the experience with my mom:)
