1/2 cup water
6 serrano chiles, roasted
Salt

Lard or corn oil

1 pound panela (or feta) cheese, cut in strips
2 cups sour cream

Directions

Simmer the tomatillos with the water until tender. Puree the tomatillos with the chiles and salt to taste. Heat 2 tablespoons lard in a saucepan, add the puree and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Heat lard in a skillet. Dip the tortillas briefly in hot lard, then in the tomatillo sauce. Fill the tortillas with strips of cheese and a bit more of the sauce. Roll and arrange in a baking dish. Cover with the remaining sauce and the sour cream. Bake at a low temperature until heated through.
