If you don’t have a tortilla press, roll dough as thinly as possible between two oiled sheets of plastic wrap and us a 4” circle cutter./ To cook, heat an unoiled plancha until it begins to smoke. Place tortillas on the hot plancha. They should begin to puff-up within 10-15 seconds. Once they begin to puff, flip and cook for another 10-15 seconds./ Serve immediately or hold under a warm damp towel.
- POBLANO CHICKEN VERDE: Heat oil in sauté pan and gently sauté diced poblano until softened, but not browned, about 8-10 minutes, cool cooked poblano./ Meanwhile, blend salsa verde with avocado until smooth./ Once poblano is cool to touch, fold all ingredients together, including cheese, seasoning with Kosher salt if needed.
