I am not the best speller so bear with me. My boyfriend and I tried this out the other day; it was so good.

When operating on a strict stovetop and oven equipment setup, managing moisture content becomes the primary engineering challenge for rolled dishes. Fresh green tomatoes, botanically tomatillos, contain high water volumes that must be driven off through dry heat charring to prevent a watery sauce. Charring the skins over an open flame collapses the internal pectin cells and caramelizes natural sugars, generating a savory depth that raw canned alternatives cannot replicate. Turning the tomatillos and jalapeños every ten minutes ensures even heat transfer without scorching the delicate outer flesh. Once charred, peeling the blackened jalapeno skins removes bitter compounds while retaining the capsaicin oils responsible for the heat profile.
Passing the softened aromatics through a high-speed blender liquefies the fibrous plant matter completely, establishing a smooth emulsion when combined with chicken bouillon and dried oregano. Meanwhile, flash-frying corn tortillas in oil for under a minute coats the starch molecules in a lipid barrier. This crucial step gelatinizes the surface starches just enough to make the flatbread pliable, stopping the liquid salsa from dissolving the masa during assembly. Without this brief oil bath, untreated corn tortillas crack along the fold lines under pressure from the filling.
Swapping fresh tomatillos for canned green varieties alters the acidity and moisture levels significantly, requiring a reduction in added water during blending. Baking the assembled rolls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for ten minutes melts the dairy proteins without drying out the interior steak taco meat.
