The word “Suiza” means Swiss in in Spanish. This is a combination between Swiss and Mexican Cuisine. The Swiss addition, the silky cream sauce that goes over the top of these enchiladas.

Ingredients

3 cups of Salsa Verde your favorite brand or your homemade salsa
¾ cup sour cream
½ cup chopped cilantro
1 garlic clove chopped
1- 2 jalapeño peppers chopped (Optional, if you desire it spicy)
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken meat
1 ½ cup shredded Oaxaca or Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
12 corn tortillas
½ medium onion thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

Place 1 cup of Salsa Verde, sour cream, cilantro, jalapeño peppers (if using) and garlic clove in a blender, process until you have a smooth sauce. Mix with the rest of the salsa 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 ⅓ 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.
