Enchiladas Suizas is a delicious Mexican dish made with rolled tortillas filled with chicken, covered in a creamy green sauce, and baked until bubbly. Here’s a recipe to make Enchiladas Suizas:
Ingredients:
For the Enchiladas:
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Green Sauce:
- 4 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 2 jalapeño peppers, stems removed
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Make the Green Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the tomatillos are soft.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Then, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the sour cream and cilantro. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, Swiss cheese, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
4. Assemble the Enchiladas:
- Heat the corn tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or in the microwave to make them pliable.
- Spoon a portion of the chicken and cheese mixture onto each tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a baking dish.
5. Add the Sauce and Bake:
- Pour the green sauce evenly over the top of the rolled enchiladas.
- Sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
6. Serve:
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
These Enchiladas Suizas are best served fresh out of the oven with some rice, beans, or a side salad. Enjoy your delicious homemade Mexican meal!
