Description

Enjoy the comforting flavors of Swiss enchiladas with succulent chicken and roasted poblanos wrapped in soft corn tortillas and topped with melty cheese.


Ingredients

  • 8 chicken cutlets (4 boneless breasts sliced in half)
  • 2 poblanos (1 for roasting and 1 for sauce)
  • 1 onion
  • 1 Tbsp chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Chihuahua or Mexican melting cheese
  • 28 oz tomatillos (1 can)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (1 block)
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 1 serrano
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp chicken bouillon powder
  • Pinch salt, or to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Thinly slice one poblano chile and the onion. Season with salt and pepper, and place them in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Season chicken breast cutlets with salt, pepper, and one tablespoon of chicken bouillon powder, then place them in a baking dish.
  4. Bake the chicken, poblano, and onion for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and not pink.
  5. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken with your fingers or two forks, mixing it with the sliced poblano and onion you set aside.
  6. To make the poblano and cream cheese sauce, blend together the remaining poblano, onion, garlic, jalapeño, serrano, cilantro, water, chicken bouillon powder, and salt until smooth.
  7. Pour the sauce over the shredded chicken mixture, ensuring everything is well-coated.
  8. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil and briefly fry the corn tortillas until soft.
  9. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll it up, and place it in a baking dish seam-side down.
  10. Top with Chihuahua or Mexican melting cheese.
  11. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

Consider using rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro and a side of sour cream or guacamole.
