Here’s a classic Enchiladas Suizas recipe — creamy, cheesy, and topped with a luscious green sauce. Perfect for a comforting Mexican meal. 🌿🧀
🌯 Enchiladas Suizas (Swiss-Style Enchiladas)
Ingredients (Serves 4)
Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Sauce
- 1 cup sour cream (or Mexican crema)
- 1 cup green salsa (salsa verde)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (Monterey Jack or Chihuahua cheese)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon lime juice for brightness
Other
- 8–10 corn tortillas
- Additional grated cheese for topping
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Sauce
- In a bowl, mix green salsa, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth.
- Add grated cheese and stir. Set aside.
2️⃣ Fill the Tortillas
- Lightly warm tortillas to make them pliable.
- Place a portion of shredded chicken and onions in each tortilla.
- Roll tortillas tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
3️⃣ Add Sauce and Cheese
- Pour the sour cream–salsa mixture evenly over the rolled enchiladas.
- Sprinkle additional cheese on top.
4️⃣ Bake
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5️⃣ Serve
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and a few slices of avocado if desired.
- Serve hot with rice or beans on the side.
✅ Tips
- Slightly fry tortillas before filling to prevent sogginess.
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cumin or garlic powder to the filling.
If you want, I can also give a quick 10-minute stovetop version of Enchiladas Suizas that doesn’t require baking but is just as creamy and delicious.
