Prepare the tomatillo sauce: Place the husked and rinsed tomatillos and serrano chilies in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatillos have softened and changed color to a dull green. Drain the tomatillos and chilies, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. In a blender, combine the cooked tomatillos, chilies, chopped onion, peeled garlic cloves, and heavy cream. Blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved cooking liquid until desired consistency is reached. For a smoother sauce, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 2
Warm and soften tortillas: Heat the vegetable oil or lard in a skillet over medium-high heat. Working one at a time, quickly dip each corn tortilla into the hot oil for about 10-15 seconds per side, just until softened and pliable but not crisp. This prevents them from breaking when rolled. Drain on paper towels.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Assemble the enchiladas: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread a thin layer of the tomatillo sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Take a softened tortilla, place about 2-3 tablespoons of shredded chicken in the center, and roll it up. Place the rolled enchilada seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken, arranging them snugly in the dish.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Sauce and bake: Pour the remaining tomatillo sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are well-covered. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
⏱️ 25 minutes - 5
Serve: Let the enchiladas rest for a few minutes after removing them from the oven. Drizzle with Mexican crema or sour cream, if desired, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

- ✓For a milder sauce, remove the seeds and membranes from the serrano chilies before boiling.
- ✓Ensure the tomatillos are ripe (firm with a bright green color) for the best flavor.
- ✓Don't over-fry the tortillas; they should be soft and pliable, not crispy.
- ✓The name 'Suizas' (Swiss) is often attributed to the creamy sauce, reminiscent of dairy products from Switzerland, and the dish's popularity at Sanborns, a Mexico City department store with Swiss origins.
