Enchiladas suiza

Enchiladas suizas are a type of enchilada originating from Mexico. The dish consists of corn tortillas filled with cheese and chicken, and covered in a green tomatillo sauce. Enchiladas suizas are a popular dish in Mexico, and are often served with rice and beans.

The exact origins of enchiladas suizas are unknown, but the dish is thought to have originated in the state of Jalisco in the early 20th century. The name of the dish is derived from the word “suiza”, which means Swiss in Spanish. It is believed that the dish was named after the Swiss cheese that is used as one of the filling ingredients.

Enchiladas suizas became popular in the United States in the 1960s, when Mexican-American immigrants began to open restaurants serving Mexican food. The dish has since become a popular menu item in Mexican restaurants across the country.
