Description
Enchiladas Suizas is a creamy and comforting Mexican dish that captures the essence of vibrant flavors wrapped in warm corn tortillas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1 ½ cups green salsa
- 2 cups Swiss and cheddar cheese mix
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures that your enchiladas will cook evenly and develop that irresistible golden color on top.
- In a medium saucepan, pour in the green salsa and place it over medium heat. Allow it to heat through, which will bring out its flavors. Once it’s warm, fold in the shredded chicken and diced onions, stirring the mixture carefully. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Lightly fry the corn tortillas, one at a time, for just a few seconds until they are soft and pliable. This step makes rolling the tortillas easier, preventing them from cracking. After frying, let them drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Now it’s time to fill your tortillas. Take a tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the warm chicken and salsa mixture onto the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat this process until all tortillas are filled and arranged neatly in the dish.
- Once all the enchiladas are assembled, generously sprinkle the cheese mix over the top. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. This heavenly melting cheese is what will make your enchiladas truly irresistible!
- After baking, remove the enchiladas from the oven and gratefully squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. This brightens the flavors beautifully. Finish by garnishing with chopped cilantro for that fresh, herbaceous touch.
- Serve your Enchiladas Suizas hot from the oven, accompanied by a cool dollop of sour cream and lime wedges on the side for squeezing. The combination of creamy, cheesy, and tangy flavors will be a hit with everyone!
Notes
Ensure tortillas are pliable to prevent tearing by frying them right before assembling.
