Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 pieces Corn Tortillas
  • 2 cups Shredded Chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 1.5 cups Green Salsa
  • 2 cups Cheese, Swiss and cheddar mix
  • 0.5 cups Sour Cream For serving
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped For garnish
  • 1 medium Onion, diced
  • 1 piece Lime, cut into wedges For serving
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil For frying tortillas

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat the green salsa in a saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Add the shredded chicken and diced onions, stirring to combine, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Lightly fry the corn tortillas in olive oil until they’re soft and pliable, then drain them on paper towels.
  5. Fill each tortilla with a generous amount of chicken and green salsa.
  6. Roll them up and place them in a baking dish.
  7. Top the rolled enchiladas with cheese and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. After baking, squeeze fresh lime juice over the enchiladas and garnish with cilantro.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream and lime wedges on the side.
Storage
  1. Store leftover Swiss Enchiladas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  2. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a minute or two or warm them in the oven.
  3. If you plan to freeze them, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap. They will keep well for up to 2 months.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for a quick option. For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the chicken mixture. Warm the tortillas briefly to prevent cracking when rolling. Experiment with different cheese blends like pepper jack or mozzarella.
