How to Make Swiss Enchiladas Enchiladas Suizas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cooked shredded chicken, drained green chilies, and salsa. Mix well.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together heavy cream and salt.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Briefly fry each corn tortilla (about 10-15 seconds per side) until slightly softened and pliable. Do not overcook.
  6. Immediately dip each fried tortilla into the cream mixture, coating both sides.
  7. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and tightly roll it up.
  8. Arrange the enchiladas seam-down in an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  9. Pour any remaining cream mixture over the enchiladas. Sprinkle generously with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  10. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.
