Presenting Swiss-style chicken enchiladas laden with a blend of juicy shredded chicken, spicy and tangy salsa verde, all enveloped by soft tortillas, and topped with a silky, creamy cheese sauce. A garnish of fresh cilantro and tangy red onion then takes this traditional Mexican dish to new pleasure...
Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish using cooking spray.
FILLING
2
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, paprika, black pepper, cumin, dried oregano, and salsa verde. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken.
ENCHILADAS
3
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 15 seconds on each side to soften them.
4
Place about 2 tablespoons worth of the prepared chicken filling on one end of a tortilla, roll it gently, and place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat this process until all tortillas have been filled.
SAUCE
5
In a separate bowl, combine the white queso and the salsa verde. Mix it well.
6
Pour this queso mixture evenly over the enchiladas in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the sauce so it covers all the tortillas.
BAKING
7
Cover the baking dish with foil ensuring it's not touching the enchiladas. Bake for 25 minutes or until the enchiladas are thorough heated and the sauce is bubbly.
GARNISH
8
Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro and diced red onion while the enchiladas are still hot, and let them sit for 5 minutes for all the flavours to meld together before serving
