Hi everyone!
Today's recipe is one of my favorite Mexican dishes, Green Enchiladas or as we call them in Spanish "Enchiladas Suizas", which means Swiss Enchiladas, according to an article I read somewhere, Swiss immigrants in Mexico were the ones who came up with the idea of baking this dish to get the cheese to melt, creating a beautiful white bed of cheesy goodness over the enchiladas, that's why we call this dish Enchiladas Suizas.
