Oh. My. Goodness. Ladies and gents, let me tell you about this mouthwatering Mexican dish that’s been stealing hearts at my dinner parties! This Chicken Enchiladas Suizas is not your average Taco Tuesday recipe – it’s what I call my “make-your-guests-think-you-went-to-culinary-school” masterpiece.
Listen, I’ve spent countless hours perfecting this recipe, and let me tell you, the struggle was real (and delicious). After many taste tests (tough job, but someone had to do it 💁♀️), I finally nailed this creamy, cheesy, slightly spicy piece of heaven.
What You’ll Need:
– 4 chicken breasts (organic if you’re fancy like that)
– 8 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups Mexican crema (or sour cream if you’re in a pinch)
– 2 cups tomatillo salsa
– 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (seriously, don’t skimp on the cheese)
– 1 white onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic (or 5 if you’re single, who am I to judge?)
– Fresh cilantro
– Salt and pepper to taste

Now, let’s get cooking!
1. First, poach those chicken breasts in seasoned water until they’re cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). Pro tip: add some garlic and bay leaves to the water – you’re welcome!
1. While the chicken is doing its thing, blend your tomatillo salsa with the crema until smooth. This sauce is literally what dreams are made of.
1. Shred that chicken like it owes you money! Mix it with some diced onions, minced garlic, and cilantro.
1. Warm up those tortillas (cold tortillas crack, and we’re not about that life). Fill each one with the chicken mixture and roll them up like tiny burritos.
1. Place these bad boys in a baking dish, pour over that heavenly green sauce, and top with cheese. Like, ALL the cheese.
1. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden on top.
When it comes out of the oven, you’ll want to face-plant right into it – resist that urge, honey! Let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with extra cilantro, diced onions, and maybe a dollop of crema if you’re feeling extra.
Y’all, this dish is seriously my go-to when I want to impress. It’s like a warm hug from your abuela, even if you don’t have one! The creamy sauce, tender chicken, and that cheese pull? _chef’s kiss_
