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:

  • 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.

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.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS SUIZAS

I got this recipe years ago from a friend that got it from a friend. I have only given it out one time. I love cooking it for my friends and family. It does take time to make. but tastes great. They even taste better the next day. I usually double the whipping cream and chicken broth.

Steps:

  • 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.

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS CON POLLO

These are SO GOOD! Pretty enough for a Ladies Luncheon, yet kid friendly, too! I like to serve them with a tossed salad, spanish or mexican rice, and refried beans and chips! (Canned/pre-cooked chicken, or a rotisserie chicken, can be substituted for quicker prep-time.) Note: These enchiladas are very mild and creamy, not spicy! Not everything in Mexico is eaten spicy hot! The filling before baking, also will taste bland. But that's because they haven't melted together. After baking, they are VERY creamy and delicious, and have a very unique flavor. Any altering of this recipe will totally change the flavor and I really wouldn't recommend it.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS SUIZAS

Enchiladas suizas differ from typical enchiladas because they contain Mexican crema or sour cream in addition to salsa verde. This version replaces the tomatillo sauce with a roasted tomato-chile sauce, resulting in a rich, creamy dish with bright color.

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a medium pot with 3 cups water, the broth, garlic, bay leaves and cilantro; season with salt. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and gently simmer, turning the chicken as needed, until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool. Discard the bay leaves and cilantro and reserve the broth and garlic. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Put the tomatoes and chiles on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil, turning, until charred, about 12 minutes. Wrap in the foil to catch any juices, then cool slightly. Peel the chiles and transfer to a blender with the tomatoes and collected juices. Remove the garlic from the broth, add to the blender and puree until smooth. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and stir in the tomato-chile puree and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is thick, about 15 minutes. Stir in 3 cups of the reserved broth and bring to a simmer. Partially cover and cook about 20 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt; keep the sauce warm. Discard the chicken skin and shred the meat. Toss the chicken with the crema and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Soak the sliced onion in a bowl of cold water while you prepare the enchiladas. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread 1 cup of the tomato-chile sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry a tortilla until puffed, about 15 seconds per side, turning with tongs. Quickly spoon 2 tablespoons chicken onto the tortilla, roll it up and put seam-side down in the baking dish. Fry and fill the remaining tortillas, arranging them side by side in the dish. Pour 2 cups of the tomato-chile sauce over the enchiladas and top with the queso fresco. Bake until warmed through, about 20 minutes. Drain the sliced onion and scatter over the enchiladas. Divide among plates and top with more cilantro, sauce and crema, if desired.

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.

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:

  • Arrange racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Roast on the lower rack until the skin is lightly golden and the chicken is cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • While the chicken is roasting, spread the tomatillos, garlic, jalapenos and onion on a second rimmed baking sheet. Roast on the top rack, tossing once or twice, until the tomatillos are tender and the jalapenos are browned and very tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool.
  • Once the chicken is cool, discard the skin and bones and shred the meat into 1/2-inch pieces. Put into a large bowl and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, char the poblanos. Turn your gas burner to high. Place 2 to 3 poblanos directly on the grate and roast, turning with tongs every 3 to 4 minutes, until the entire pepper is blackened and very tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl and repeat with the remaining poblanos. (Alternatively, if you have an electric stove, arrange the poblanos on a rimmed baking sheet and broil on high as close to the heat source as possible, turning occasionally, until the peppers are charred on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl.)
  • Wrap the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the poblanos steam for 15 minutes to loosen their skin. When they are cool enough to handle, peel all the blackened skin from the peppers; it's ok if there are flecks of black on the flesh or if some of the green skin is difficult to peel off. Split the sides open to remove the seeds, rinsing under cold running water if needed. Transfer the cleaned peppers to a blender.
  • Remove the skin from the garlic cloves and add to the blender along with the tomatillos, jalapeno, onion and any accumulated juices. Add the coriander, cumin, oregano and a 1 ½ teaspoons of salt and puree on medium-low speed until smooth. Add the cilantro and puree on low speed until the cilantro is chopped but you can still see pieces of it in the sauce. Transfer the sauce to a large bowl and generously season with salt. You should have about 5 cups.
  • Toss the reserved chicken with 3/4 cup of the salsa verde in a large bowl and generously season with salt.
  • Heat the remaining 1 cup oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles immediately when you touch the edge of a tortilla to the surface. Working with one at a time, fry the tortillas, turning once, until just starting to brown, about 10 seconds per side; the tortillas should still be pliable. Transfer the tortillas to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Dip both sides of each tortilla in salsa verde to coat, and then transfer to a large plate. Spread 1 cup of the salsa verde evenly over the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish. Working with one tortilla at a time, spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken filling across the center of a tortilla. Then fold one side of the tortilla over the filling and roll up the enchilada. Place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish as you go (they should be nestled right up against each other). Top with any remaining salsa verde.
  • Wrap the dish tightly with foil and bake on the upper rack until the sauce is bubbling and the tortillas are beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the creme fraiche and milk in a small bowl. Season with salt.
  • Top the enchiladas with the queso fresco, crema, cilantro leaves and onion slices. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

3 skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husked and rinsed
6 cloves garlic, unpeeled
2 to 3 jalapeno chiles, stemmed
1 large white onion, quartered
6 poblano peppers, stemmed
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano, plus more for serving
Kosher salt
1 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, plus more for serving
Ten 6-inch corn tortillas
1/2 cup creme fraiche
1 tablespoon milk
8 ounces queso fresco, crumbled
Thinly sliced white onion, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and saute until soft, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and chicken broth.
  • Add the chiles, garlic, salt to taste and cumin and simmer about 15 minutes to blend the flavors of the sauce.
  • Heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a rectangular baking dish.
  • Put about 1/4 inch oil in a large frying pan and set over medium heat.
  • When hot, fry the tortillas briefly.
  • (Do not let them get crisp!).
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Dip in the sauce.
  • Put some of the chicken in a strip on each tortilla.
  • Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons cheese.
  • Roll up enchiladas and put in prepared baking dish seam down.
  • Pour remaining sauce over top, then the cream. (I know this seems like a lot of cream and it does look like it might turn out runny, but after cooking it settles in and you end up with terrific, moist enchiladas and not an excess of sauce).
  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese and scallions.
  • Bake about 20 minutes (30 minutes if you are starting with cold chicken).

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS CON POLLO (SWISS CHICKEN ENCHILADAS)

This is a very old recipe from the 60's that my mom has made about my whole life. She used canned chicken, but I prefer to make them with fresh chicken.

Steps:

  • 1. In large bowl, combine well the chicken, the shredded cheese and 3/4 of the sour cream, set aside. (Make sure you slice from short end, 10-12 thin slices of swiss cheese and wrap and set aside.) Soft-fry tortillas in a little oil, adding more as needed, set aside. I brush my flat griddle pan with a little oil and fry each side of tortillas, one at a time, til they just start to poof. About 5-10 seconds per side. Brush on more oil as needed, about every other one.)In pie dish, pour chopped tomatoes with juice. (Break up stewed tomatoes.)In 13x9 pan, sprayed, pour a little tomato juice to lightly coat bottom of pan. Dip each tortilla in chopped tomatoes, lightly coating with juice, fill with chicken mixture, roll up, place each seam-side down into pan. (Last 3 will have to go along side the 13" side of pan.) Pour remaining tomatoes down over middle/center of filled, rolled tortillas. Top each with a slice of swiss cheese. This goes easily if you get a "production line" all set up. Bake, uncovered, in 350° oven for 20 minutes. Top each with a dollop of sour cream, and bake 5 minutes longer. *Can sub: Mexican-Style Tomatoes and can add 1 (3 oz) can chopped green chilies, drained, to chicken mixture if desired. But my hubby and I prefer them just as they are! Note: 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts will yield 8-10 filled enchiladas using taco-sized flour tortillas. Just stew them for about 20 minutes or til done.

1 large stewing chicken, or 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (12 oz.) block swiss cheese, thinly slice 4 oz. shred rest (8 oz.)
1 (16 oz.) cont. sour cream, do not sub light, divided
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can del monte original stewed tomatoes, chopped up with juice
10-12 "taco-sized" flour tortillas (not the big burrito-sized)
vegetable oil, for soft-frying

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.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes (cream will thicken).
  • Serve with spatula and knife.
  • Enjoy the Dee-licious reward for all your effort!

Steps:

  • Add the tomatillos, onion, serrano peppers, and garlic to a medium saucepan. Pour in enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the vegetables are very tender and the tomatillos have changed color, 8-10 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked vegetables to a blender and discard the cooking liquid. Purée the vegetables until broken down. Add the chopped cilantro, salt, and chicken stock. Blend the salsa until smooth. It should be speckled and thick.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the salsa verde to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a strong simmer. Cook until the salsa deepens in color and thickens slightly, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the salsa into a medium bowl and set aside. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Working 2 at a time, fry the tortillas for 1 minute per side, until starting to brown but not completely fried. They should be crisp around the edges but still pliable enough to roll. Transfer the tortillas to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • Set a rack in the center of the oven and turn on the broiler.
  • Spread ½ cup of the salsa verde over the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish.
  • Assemble the enchiladas: Dip a tortilla in the remaining salsa verde so both sides are coated. Place the tortilla on a flat surface and add about 4 tablespoons of shredded chicken to the center. Roll tightly. Place the filled tortilla, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Pour any remaining salsa over the top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the queso fresco.
  • Broil the enchiladas until the cheese is just melted, 2-4 minutes.
  • Serve the enchiladas warm with the diced onion, Mexican crema, and cilantro leaves for topping
  • Enjoy!
