3. Heat one tablespoon of oil in a pan, add onion and sauté till it turns translucent. Add chicken mince and continue to sauté over medium heat for ten minutes. Keep aside. Boil green chillies in half a cup of water for two to three minutes. Add green tomatoes and cook till they change colour. Drain and let cool. Transfer to a blender, add one clove of garlic, coriander leaves, salt and grind to a puree. Keep aside. Roast capsicums till outer skin is slightly charred. Remove skin and cut into strips. Preheat oven to 190° C.
4. Heat remaining oil in a skillet and fry each tortilla on both sides for a minute each. Arrange three tortillas overlapping each other in a baking dish. Cover with a layer of mince, a layer of half the capsicum strips, a layer of half the sour cream and one third of the grated cheese. Repeat these layers. Cover with green tomato puree and bake in a preheated oven at 190° C for five minutes. Sprinkle remaining grated cheese and bake till cheese melts and turns slightly brown.
