  1. Good but not like the enchiladas you get in a restaurant. Kinda bland
     
  2. Good enchiladas. I made this as directed, but halved it for just DH and me. Simple and good. We enjoyed the 'green' sauce for a nice change. Thanks for another winner Le fromage de cuisine. Made for PAC Spring 2009.

Tweaks

  1. The name of this dish means "Swiss enchiladas," not because it's a Swiss recipe but because of the generous use of dairy as compared to the more traditional Enchiladas Rojas (red). Also the generous amount of dairy used in this dish are lots of cheese and sour cream. Because this is a Mexican dish - cheese like queso fresco, Oaxaca cheese, Jack cheese - but Swiss cheese - there is no Mexican dish out there with Swiss cheese. I know this because I am married to a Mexican cook and I lived 5 years in Mexico.
