Enchiladas Verdes Suizas Recipes

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS

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.

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.

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS

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!
