Swiss Green Enchiladas
Swiss Green Enchiladas
Enchiladas are a cheese, bean, or meat filled tortilla rolled, then covered with a sauce. Sometimes the are baked; sometimes they are not. Sometimes I am baked; sometimes I’m not(when I’m sleeping). These enchiladas are filled with shredded meat(I used pork), then covered in a creamy salsa verde and topped with Swiss cheese. Something I started doing with tortillas is brushing them with cooking oil instead of add the oil to a pan. I use a lot less oil and get the same results. Just a light brush on each side of the tortilla will work.
