Instructions:<\/h2>\n

Roast the Chiles<\/strong>
Place the Hatch chiles on an open flame or under a broiler. Roast until blistered and charred on all sides. Place in a plastic bag to steam for 10 minutes, then peel off the skin. Remove seeds (optional).<\/p>\n

Prepare the Salsa Roja<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boil tomatoes for 5\u20137 minutes until soft.<\/p>\n

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, pour in the blended sauce, and simmer for 10\u201315 minutes. Season with salt.<\/p>\n

Assemble in the Skillet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/p>\n

Lightly fry or warm the tortillas. Line the bottom of a small cast iron skillet with the tortillas.<\/p>\n

Spoon some salsa over the tortillas.<\/p>\n

Layer roasted chiles over the top.<\/p>\n

Add shredded cheese and lay slices of Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese on top.<\/p>\n

Pour more salsa on top if desired.<\/p>\n

Bake<\/strong><\/p>\n
