ENCHILADAS SUIZAS CON POLLO



Enchiladas Suizas Con Pollo image

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.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 enchiladas

Number Of Ingredients 13

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:

  • 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.

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.

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.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
1 large slice of onion
4 green serrano chiles, or to taste
1 clove garlic
½ cup water
1 cup heavy cream
½ 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

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,

Enchiladas Suizas con Pollo (Swiss Chicken Enchiladas) image

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. It is a very simple recipe, that after baking, comes together like a dream! Everything melts together beautifully! It is very mild and creamy and is supposed to be that way. (NOT...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

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.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS SUIZAS



Chicken Enchiladas Suizas image

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
3 to 5 sprigs fresh cilantro, plus more for topping (optional)
Kosher salt
2 pounds plum tomatoes
1 or 2 serrano chile peppers, stemmed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus 1/2 cup for frying
1 large white onion; 2/3 diced, 1/3 sliced into rings
1/2 cup Mexican crema or sour cream, plus more for topping (optional)
12 corn tortillas, preferably white
3/4 cup crumbled queso fresco

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.

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS

An alternative enchiladas for variety and those who can't eat tomato-based sauces. This is very mild so if you want it spicier, try throwing in a jalapeño or two.

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 medium onions, chopped
8 mild green chilies, chopped or 2 (4 ounce) cans canned green chilies
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth (go ahead and use the whole 14 ounce can rather than have that extra bit go to waste)
salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 lb monterey jack cheese, grated
1/4 lb cheddar cheese, grated
2 scallions, sliced
oil (for frying)
corn tortilla
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup heavy cream

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).

SWISS ENCHILADAS ( ENCHILADAS SUIZAS)



Swiss Enchiladas ( Enchiladas Suizas) image

This one is from my 1972 Sunset Mexican cookbook. Everyone has their preconceptions. One which is quite common in many places of the world is that the Swiss are all dairy farmers, a la Heidi. So it's only natural for the Mexicans, who have far fewer dairies, to name this dish in honor of that far away and mystic land. Be that as it may, this is one incredible dish, a real diet buster!
