Enchiladas Suizas
- 5 whole Tomatillos, Husks Removed
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 whole Poblano Peppers
- 3 whole Serrano Chilies
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 3 whole Chicken Breasts, Boneless, Skinless
- 2 pinches Salt To Taste
- 1 pinch Cracked Black Pepper, To Taste
- 1 whole Russet Potato, (optional) Peeled, Cubed And Cooked
- 1 cup Fresh Cilantro, Loosely Packed
- 1/2 cups Mexican Crema, Or Sour Cream
- 1/4 cups Cooking Oil
- 12 whole Corn Tortillas
- 2 cups Monterey Jack Cheese, Shredded
- 6 slices Swiss Cheese
- Start by adding the tomatillos, garlic, peppers, and chilies to a roasting pan.
- Drizzle with the olive oil.
- Place in a preheated 425 degrees F oven for 40 minutes.
- Remove and immediately place the poblano peppers in a sealed plastic bag to let steam, making it easier for the skin to be removed.
- During this time, add the chicken to a pot of water and bring to a simmer.
- Cook for about 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Pull the chicken apart with a couple of forks.
- Season with a bit of salt and pepper, and set aside.
- If you are using the potato, add to a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, and let cook for about 25 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Drain and set aside.
- Add the roasted items to a food processor, removing the skins from the garlic prior to doing so.
- Toss in the cilantro.
- Revisit those poblano peppers, and remove the skin from the peppers.
- Remove the stem, slice open and remove all of the seeds.
- Add the poblanos to the food processor as well.
- Pulse until you have a fine sauce.
- Taste, and season with any salt.
- Add about 1 cup of this sauce to the bottom of your baking dish.
- This sauce can actually be used as a salsa as well, so reserve some if you desire.
- Its good.
- Its really good.
- Add the Mexican crema to the rest of the salsa verde, and give a good mix.
- This is now your creamy salsa verde that will be used on top of your enchiladas before baking.
- Lightly brush cooking oil on each corn tortilla, and stack them up.
- I used about 10 tortillas.
- Once they are stacked, place them in the microwave for about 45 seconds, until they are warmed through and pliable.
- Take a tortilla and add some potato and shredded chicken, then roll, and place seam side down onto the salsa verde in the baking dish.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Pour over the creamy salsa verde, top with the shredded cheese, then place the Swiss cheese slices to cover.
- Bake in a 350 degrees F oven, uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and melted through.
- Serve with Mexican or Puerto Rican rice and refried beans.
- These enchiladas suizas have comfort food written all over them.
- I add a bit more of the reserved salsa verde on top as well.
- Super cheesy with just that great, subtle Swiss cheese flavor, and then the creamy salsa verde is just over the top in flavor.
- Tender, and delicious, it is a perfect dish any day of the week and great for leftovers, and who doesnt love that during a busy work week, right?
- Hope you enjoy!
