Enchiladas Suizas
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can (7 oz) of green chilies
- 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened.
- Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, green chilies, and half of the chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the sour cream, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is heated through and well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side to make them pliable.
- Fill each tortilla with a portion of the chicken mixture and a sprinkle of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the creamy sauce over the filled tortillas, making sure to cover them completely. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped cilantro before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Enchiladas Suizas, a beloved Mexican dish, originated in the region of Puebla, Mexico. The name "Suizas" (Swiss) is a nod to the creamy, cheesy sauce that tops the enchiladas, reminiscent of Swiss cuisine. This dish is said to have been created by a Swiss-Mexican chef in the 19th century, blending traditional Mexican flavors with European influences. The key to a perfect Enchiladas Suizas lies in the creamy, tangy sauce made with tomatillos, cream, and cheese, which is poured over the rolled tortillas filled with chicken or vegetables. Today, some of the best Enchiladas Suizas can be found in authentic Mexican restaurants in Puebla, where chefs take pride in preserving the traditional recipe. For a twist, some chefs use a green salsa made with avocado, giving the dish a unique and delightful flavor. Whether enjoyed in Puebla or at a local Mexican eatery, Enchiladas Suizas continue to delight food enthusiasts with their rich history and irresistible flavors.
