Preheat the oven to 180° C. Roast and devein the poblano peppers. Boil and shred the chicken breasts. Chop the onion into small cubes or slices as preferred. If using fresh corn, cook and remove the kernels. Fry the tortillas in oil, flipping both sides without letting them brown. Cut the chiles into strips and fry them along with the onion. Blend the tomatoes, add them to the chiles and onion, along with some garlic, salt, and pepper to taste, then add the chicken and corn and let cook for 10 minutes. In a baking dish, place a layer of tortillas, a layer of the filling, then add cream and cheese, and continue layering until finished.
