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.

MEXICAN ENCHILADAS SUIZAS
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.

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.

- 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.

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS
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!

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.

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.
