My husband lived in Mexico for several years and loved Swiss enchiladas (enchiladas Suizas). I found this recipe, and he said that it tastes just like the ones his ‘mamita’ made him.
Ingredients
2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
½ (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
1 (7 ounce) can prepared green chile salsa
2 cups whipping cream
½ teaspoon salt
oil for frying
12 corn tortillas
1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix together chicken, chilies, and salsa in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Stir together whipping cream and salt in a wide, shallow dish until well combined. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each tortilla in hot oil until blistering, 2 to 4 seconds, then immediately dip into cream mixture.
Fill fried tortillas with chicken mixture. Roll and place flap-side down in a baking dish. Pour remaining cream mixture over tortillas and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes.
