Chicken Enchiladas Suizas

You may enjoy your enchiladas Suizas better with a squeeze of lime. Or you’re into the minor galaxy of a hearty mole sauce across your tortillas.

If you are grateful for the alignment of the stars that offered such a holy offering, you may take your enchiladas anyway.

“‘Suizas’ means ‘Swiss’ and probably refers to a large amount of dairy in this dish. Legend has it that this meal was invented in Mexico City in the 1950s.

Due to its cheese content, it goes smooth and makes a great dish to take to a party.”

When pureeing the peppers with cream cheese and other ingredients, you can control the heat if you remove the seeds and membranes.

Quickly prepare the chicken filling a day ahead, then assemble and heat the enchiladas when ready to serve.
