Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Enchiladas Suizas
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and gather your ingredients and a large skillet.
  2. Add olive oil to the skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until soft.
  3. Stir in cooked shredded chicken, chicken broth, and green enchilada sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Lightly fry each corn tortilla in oil for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  5. Mix sour cream and a tablespoon of the green enchilada sauce in a bowl and set aside.
  6. Spread chicken mixture at the bottom of a baking dish. Fill each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  7. Pour remaining chicken mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Let cool before drizzling with sour cream mixture and garnishing with cilantro. Serve warm.
