Indulge in the rich flavors of Enchiladas Suizas, a true gem of Mexican cuisine that beautifully marries the comfort of soft corn tortillas with the savory goodness of shredded chicken. These enchiladas are generously smothered in a creamy green salsa, enriched with sour cream, and topped with bubbling melted cheese, creating a dish that is as visually appealing as it is delicious. The name 'Suizas,' which translates to 'Swiss,' pays homage to the delightful layer of cheese that brings a luxurious touch to this classic. Perfect for everything from family dinners to festive gatherings, each bite is a celebration of flavor and tradition!

Servings: 6

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Onion
1 medium, chopped
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Cooked chicken breasts
2 cups, shredded
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste
Green salsa
1 cup
Sour cream
1/2 cup
Corn tortillas
12
Shredded cheese (such as Monterey Jack or Chihuahua)
2 cups
Fresh cilantro
for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the green salsa and sour cream, mixing until smooth. This will be your creamy green sauce.
  5. Take a corn tortilla and spread a spoonful of the green salsa mixture on it. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture on top and roll the tortilla tightly. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
  6. Arrange the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining green salsa mixture over the top of the enchiladas, ensuring they are well coated.
  8. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the enchiladas.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
