Quick Enchiladas Suizas

Ingredients

• 3 cup Herdez Salsa Verde cooking sauce or homemade salsa (Use 1 cup for blending and the remainder in the sauce.)
• 0.75 cup Mexican cream or sour cream
• 0.5 cup cilantro (Chopped.)
• 1 garlic (Clove, chopped.)
• 2 cup rotisserie chicken meat (Shredded.)
• 1.5 cup Oaxaca cheese or fresh mozzarella (Shredded.)
• 12 corn tortillas
• 0.5 onion (Medium, thinly sliced; for garnish.)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (For frying the tortillas; heat 1 tablespoon first and add the rest as needed.)
• salt (To taste; for seasoning the chicken.)
• black pepper (To taste; for seasoning the chicken.)
• garlic powder (Optional; the source says it may be added to the chicken if desired.)

Steps

1. 1

   Put 1 cup of the salsa verde, the Mexican cream, chopped cilantro, and chopped garlic in a blender. Blend until smooth.

2. 2

   Pour the blended mixture into the remaining salsa verde, mix, and set the sauce aside.

3. 3

   Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

4. 4

   Soften the tortillas one at a time in the skillet, giving each just a few seconds per side. Add the remaining oil as needed. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

6. 6

   Season the shredded chicken with salt and pepper. Add garlic powder if desired.

7. 7

   Grease a 9 × 12-inch baking dish, or individual oven-proof plates if preferred. Spread one-third of the sauce across the bottom.

8. 8

   Fill the center of each tortilla with chicken and roll it up.

9. 9

   Arrange the rolled tortillas in a single layer in the baking dish, seam-side down.

10. 10

    Cover the enchiladas with the remaining sauce and sprinkle the shredded cheese over them.

11. 11

    Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese begins to brown.

12. 12

    Serve immediately, garnished with the sliced onion.
