Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons butter
⅔ cup chopped Spanish onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 cup chopped green chile peppers
1 clove garlic, minced
¾ teaspoon salt
1 dash ground cumin
12 (8 inch) corn tortillas
canola oil for frying
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded, cooked chicken breast meat
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup chopped green onion
½ cup sliced green olives
1 pint cherry tomatoes

Steps:

  • Prepare salsa verde: Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Saute the onion until soft. Stir in the flour. Add the broth, then add the chiles, garlic, salt, and cumin. Simmer about 15 minutes to blend flavors, then set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)
  • In a heavy skillet, lightly fry tortillas in shallow oil, being careful not to make them too crisp to roll. Combine the cheeses and keep 1/2 cup aside for topping. Dip each tortilla in salsa verde (both sides.) Place 2 heaping tablespoons chicken and about 2 tablespoons cheese down the center of each; roll and place seam side down in a shallow dish.
  • After all the rolled tortillas are in the dish, spoon additional salsa verde over them and then cover evenly with heavy cream. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese mixture, and with the green onions.
  • Bake uncovered in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with the olives, cherry tomatoes, and with additional salsa on the side.

Corn tortillas are filled with shredded chicken and baked in a creamy green tomatillo sauce. The 'suizas' sauce is Spanish for 'Swiss,' a nod to its creaminess.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
1 large slice of onion
4 green serrano chiles, or to taste
1 clove garlic
½ cup water
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup shredded Chihuahua cheese
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules, or to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
12 corn tortillas
1 cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 cup shredded Chihuahua cheese

Steps:

  • Line a griddle or large frying pan with aluminum foil. Heat over medium-high heat. Add tomatillos, onion, chiles, and garlic. Grill until charred, 7 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to cook evenly. Allow vegetables to cool slightly.
  • Transfer grilled vegetables to a blender with water, cream and 1/2 cup Chihuahua cheese; blend until smooth. Season with chicken bouillon granules; add additional water to thin sauce, if necessary,
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat a small drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas in hot oil for a few seconds, one by one, until soft but not crispy. Add more oil as needed. Place cooked tortillas on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • Pour 1/3 the sauce into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Fill tortillas with equal amounts of shredded chicken, roll up, and arrange in a single layer over the sauce. Pour remaining sauce on top and cover with remaining 1 cup mild Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until melted, about 25 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 enchiladas

Number Of Ingredients 13

9 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
1/4 white onion
1 serrano chile
1 yellow chile (guerito pepper)
2 cloves garlic
1/4 bunch fresh cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Mexican crema
1/2 cup heavy cream
Vegetable oil, for frying
6 corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded chicken
1/2 cup shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the tomatillos, onion and both chiles in a medium heavy saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the tomatillos turn an olive-green color, about 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the tomatillos, onions and chiles to a blender. Add the garlic and cilantro and blend until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Mix the Mexican crema and heavy cream together in a small bowl and season with salt. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tortillas until golden but still pliable, about 10 seconds per side, using more oil if needed. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Place the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the shredded chicken evenly among the tortillas and roll up each like a cigar. Spread 1/3 cup of the sauce in a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the enchiladas in 1 layer, seam-side down, snugly inside the dish. Pour the rest of the sauce over the enchiladas. Drizzle the cream mixture on top and sprinkle the cheese all over.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and starting to brown in spots, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS



Enchiladas Suizas image

Not what I usually find for Spanish/Mexican food. These enchiladas have become a family treat. They're really rich, and taste even better as leftovers. The extra prep time is worth every second to get a dish this impressive that tastes so great. Because everything is pre-cooked, you can save prepared dish in fridge and oven it later. My sister was so proud to make them herself, she took them into her high school Spanish class! (needless to say they were a big hit, and she didn't save any for us... ) Super for a special dinner, or frozen for later lunches, even non-cooks can pull this one off!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 enchiladas

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 count) package corn tortillas
4 chicken breasts (or 1 regular size Styrofoam tray of chicken)
1 (16 ounce) bottle la victoria green chili salsa (or any green salsa you can find)
1 (4 ounce) can seeded chopped green chilies
2 cups light cream
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Cook and chop chicken into small pieces (I usually boil it to remove any fat, and then cube it) drain chilies and combine with cooked chicken with 3/4 bottle of salsa in a bowl.
  • Set up your preparation area (this is how I do it).
  • Pour 1 container of the light cream into a pie pan, and mix in some salt.
  • Set cream pan next to bowl of chicken and a large plate near the stove.
  • Spray a rectangular baking pan/dish with non-stick cooking spray, and preheat oven to 350°F; add oil to small frying pan and heat it while you set up a stack of paper towels next to the stove.
  • Begin assembly of dish!
  • Fry 1 tortilla in oil (turn it over -- ) until bubbly, but still limp, remove from oil and set on paper towels to remove excess grease.
  • Dip fried tortilla in cream, then set on plate and fill with large spoonful of chicken mix.
  • Roll up tortilla and place seam side down in baking pan.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • (This will go MUCH FASTER if you have one person to fry the tortillas and another to fill them-we always made it a family thing).
  • Pour remaining cream over the pan of enchiladas and top with remaining salsa and cheese.
  • Bake in 350°F oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes (cream will thicken).
  • Serve with spatula and knife.
  • Enjoy the Dee-licious reward for all your effort!

Tips:

  • Utilize Fresh Ingredients: For the most delectable enchiladas, use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This includes fresh herbs, vegetables, and high-quality cheese.
  • Properly Season the Meat: Ensure the chicken or beef filling is well-seasoned to impart maximum flavor. Use a blend of spices like cumin, chili powder, oregano, and garlic powder to create a flavorful filling.
  • Don't Overcook the Enchiladas: Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly, but be careful not to overcook them, as this can result in dry and tough enchiladas.
  • Use a Quality Blender: For a smooth, creamy sauce, use a high-quality blender to ensure a velvety texture. A good blender will emulsify the ingredients more effectively, resulting in a rich and flavorful sauce.
  • Layer Wisely: When assembling the enchiladas, layer them carefully to ensure even distribution of the filling and sauce. Start with a layer of sauce, followed by the tortillas, filling, and more sauce. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used up.
  • Top with Extra Cheese: Before baking, sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on top of the enchiladas. This will create a golden, crispy crust that adds an extra layer of flavor and texture.
