Enchiladas Suizas is a delicious Mexican dish made with tortillas filled with cheese and topped with a creamy green sauce.


The dish has a significant cultural significance in Mexico, as it is believed to have originated in the city of Cuernavaca, in the state of Morelos.


The dish is made with corn tortillas that are filled with shredded chicken or cheese, then rolled up and baked in a creamy green sauce made with tomatillos, cilantro, and jalapeños.


The name "Enchiladas Suizas" means "Swiss-style Enchiladas," but the dish has no real connection to Switzerland.


The name actually comes from the creamy sauce that tops the enchiladas, which is similar to the white sauce used in Swiss cuisine.


Enchiladas Suizas are often served with a side of refried beans and Mexican rice, and can be garnished with sliced avocado, diced onion, and fresh cilantro.


This dish is also a popular item on the menus of Mexican restaurants throughout the United States.


While the dish has evolved over time, it remains a popular and beloved Mexican dish that is enjoyed by people all over the world.


So, if you're looking to try a new and delicious Mexican dish, Enchiladas Suizas is definitely worth a try!
