Method

Preparation

Prepare the Fillings

In a medium bowl, season the shredded chicken and shredded beef with salt and pepper. Mix in half of the chopped onions and chopped cilantro into each filling.

Prepare the Sauces

In separate bowls, prepare the red and green enchilada sauces. For the suiza sauce, you can mix sour cream with a bit of water or milk until you reach a pourable consistency.

Assembly

Fill the Tortillas

Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft. Place 1/3 cup of shredded cheese in the center of one tortilla for the red enchilada. For the green enchilada, use 1/3 cup of shredded chicken, and for the suiza, use 1/3 cup of shredded beef.

Roll the Enchiladas

Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

Baking

Add the Sauces

Once all enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour the red sauce over the cheese enchiladas, the green sauce over the chicken enchiladas, and the suiza sauce over the beef enchiladas.

Bake the Enchiladas

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with the remaining chopped onions and cilantro. Serve with additional sour cream on the side.
