How to Make Enchiladas Suizas Con Pollo

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded), 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese, and ¾ cup sour cream. Mix well and set aside.
  3. Gently fry 12 corn tortillas in a little oil (about 1 tablespoon) until slightly softened. Add more oil as needed. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, chop 1 (28 ounce) can of diced tomatoes with their juices.
  5. Lightly coat a 13x9 inch baking dish with a thin layer of the tomato juice.
  6. Dip each tortilla into the chopped tomatoes, coating lightly. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining chopped tomatoes over the enchiladas.
  8. Top each enchilada with a thin slice of Swiss cheese (about 12 slices).
  9. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven, dollop 1/4 cup sour cream over each enchilada, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Optional: For added flavor, use Mexican-style tomatoes and add 1 (4 ounce) can of chopped green chilies (drained) to the chicken mixture before assembling the enchiladas. Allow the enchiladas to simmer for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
