Enchiladas Suizas Recipes

QUICK ENCHILADAS SUIZAS

Steps:

• Place 1 cup of de Herdez "Mexican Cooking Salsa Verde, Mexican Cream, cilantro and garlic clove in a blender, process until you have a smooth sauce. Mix with the rest of the Herdez salsa verde and set aside.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat; warm one tablespoon of oil and warm the tortillas one at a time to soften, giving it just a few seconds per side. Add the rest of the oil as needed. Besides softening them for easy rolling, another reason is that we do this is to keep the tortillas from breaking. Transfer onto a plate covered with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. You can also add garlic powder if you like.
• Spread 1/3 of the sauce in a greased 9″ X 12" baking dish. Or individual oven-proof plates, if you prefer.
• Fill the center of each tortilla with the chicken and roll it up.
• Arrange the enchiladas in 1 layer, seam side down.
• Cover with the rest of sauce; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes or until cheese starts to brown. Serve immediately and garnish with onion slices.

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by at least 2 inches. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from water; transfer to a plate. When cool enough to handle, shred into bite size pieces. You should have about 3 cups.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to broil with a rack in the position closest to the heating element. Arrange tomatillos, poblano, onion wedges, garlic, and jalapeno in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, flipping once halfway through, until blackened in places and beginning to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender; add cilantro, sour cream, 3/4 cup water, lime juice, and salt and puree until smooth.
• Turn oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1 cup enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of an 8-by-12-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, toss chicken with 1 cup enchilada sauce. Place about 1/3 cup of chicken in the center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas to enclose filling. Arrange enchiladas in a single layer in prepared baking dish, seam-side down. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top, then sprinkle evenly with cheese.
• Bake until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Serve with cilantro leaves, chopped onion, and sliced jalapeno.

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.

• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a rapid boil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the boiling water; cover. Cook 15 to 20 minutes; drain and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15 baking dish.

Add the chicken, Cheddar cheese, green chile peppers, salsa, cilantro, cumin, and chipotle peppers to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper; mix.
• Place about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture along the edge of a tortilla; roll tightly into a tube. Place the enchilada, seam-side down, into the prepared baking dish. Repeat until all the chicken mixture is used. Sprinkle Monterrey Jack cheese over the enchiladas. Whisk together the whipping cream and chicken broth in a small bowl; pour over the enchiladas. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until cheese is completely melted, about 10 minutes.
