Enchiladas Suizas

Ingredients

For the Enchiladas:

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup grated Monterrey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup diced onion

For the Green Sauce:

  • 4 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
  • 1 jalapeño, stemmed and seeded (optional for spice)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan, combine the tomatillos, jalapeño, onion, and garlic. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the tomatillos are soft.
  3. Drain the mixture and transfer to a blender. Add chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth to create the green sauce.
  4. In a separate skillet, lightly warm the corn tortillas until they are pliable. You can use a bit of oil if desired.
  5. Spread a little of the green sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place a couple of tablespoons of shredded chicken in the center of each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Once all the tortillas are arranged in the baking dish, pour the remaining green sauce over them and sprinkle with Monterrey Jack cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and diced onion.
