Ingredients
Enchiladas Suizas Sauce

1 cup sour cream
Enchiladas Suizas
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
1–1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
12 corn tortillas
Instructions
-
Prepare the Enchilada Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix salsa verde and sour cream until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
-
Assemble the Enchiladas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds or on a dry skillet to make them pliable. Spoon shredded chicken into each tortilla and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
-
Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the salsa verde and sour cream mixture over the enchiladas, covering them evenly. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
-
Serve: Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra sour cream, fresh cilantro, or lime if desired.
Notes
Spicy Kick: Add diced jalapeños to the chicken filling or mix hot sauce into the salsa verde for extra heat.
Cheese Options: Substitute mozzarella with cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend for a different flavor.
Vegetarian Version: Replace chicken with sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers for a vegetarian version.
Sour Cream Alternative: Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
