The tortillas and filling are layered (instead of rolled) to reduce prep time.

Prep Tip

Related to both the tomato and the gooseberry, tomatillos look like small green tomatoes with papery husks. They are tart and acidic with flavors of apple and lemon, and can be eated raw or cooked. Choose ones that are firm; make sure to remove the husk and rinse the fruit before using. You'll find tomatillos at some supermarkets and at Latin markets.
