Enchiladas Suisas

Now that the non-stop vomiting is over, I have returned to the kitchen. =)  And my return dish was a big hit. It wasn't really a healthy dish, but it was oh so good!  I boiled the chicken before I began and I think next time I may buy cooked chicken to cut down on the prep time. 


  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2/3 cup chopped Spanish onion
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup chopped green chile peppers
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 dash ground cumin
  • 12 (8 inch) corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken breast meat
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion

Directions

  1. Prepare salsa verde: Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Saute the onion until soft. Stir in the flour. Add the broth, then add the chiles, garlic, salt, and cumin. Simmer about 15 minutes to blend flavors, then set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)
  2. Dip each tortilla in salsa verde (both sides.) Place 2 heaping tablespoons chicken and about 2 tablespoons cheese down the center of each; roll and place seam side down in a shallow dish.
  3. After all the rolled tortillas are in the dish, spoon additional salsa verde over them and then cover evenly with heavy cream. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese mixture, and with the green onions.
  4. Bake uncovered in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Serve immediately with additional salsa on the side.                (modified from recipe on allrecipes.com)
