Chicken Enchiladas Suizas
Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
  • 1 large slice of onion
  • 4 green serrano chiles, or to taste
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded Chihuahua cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded Chihuahua cheese
Instructions
1
Prepare your cooking surface by lining a griddle or large frying pan with aluminum foil.
2
Heat the griddle over medium-high heat, allowing it to reach its optimal temperature.
3
Add a mixture of tomatillos, onion, chiles, and garlic to the griddle.
4
Cook until they are nicely charred, taking about 7-10 minutes and flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5
Allow the vegetables to cool down slightly before proceeding.
6
Transfer the grilled vegetables to a blender with some water, adding it gradually as needed.
7
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
8
Add chicken bouillon granules to season, then adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary.
9
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
10
Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
11
Fry tortillas in the hot oil for just a few seconds on each side, until they are soft but not crispy.
12
Add more oil as needed to prevent burning.
13
Place the cooked tortillas on a baking sheet lined with paper towels, allowing them to absorb excess oil.
14
Pour one-third of the sauce into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.
15
Fill each tortilla with an equal amount of shredded chicken and roll them up before arranging in a single layer over the sauce.
16
Pour the remaining sauce on top and cover with an additional 1 cup of mild Cheddar cheese.
17
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
