Answer 2

Mexican enchiladas vary according to the region. In northern Mexico an enchilada would a corn tortilla dipped into a mixture of what is commonly known as chile colorado, red chile, (its not hot at all, just used for the color) you can get them at stores featuring Mexican groceries, those chiles you need to soak in hot water untl they rehydrate, they you grind them in a blender after taking out all the seeds and cutting off the stem. The remaining mixture is used to dip the tortillas in and then cooking them briefly in oil. You can either fill them with fresh white cheese and diced raw onion, or shredded chicken strips, then rolled tightly and placed in a baking dish. Continue doing that until the dish is full. Then you can top it with any sauce you like, green or red, cover with shredded cheese and bake for a fifteen minutes, they taste pretty good, or use plain corn tortillas briefly cooked in hot oil and do pretty much the same thing, you can also pour cream over them in addition to the sauce, or mole, a thick paste made from several seeds and spices. The most commonly known brand is Doña María, sold in Mexican Groceries. The so called Swiss Enchiladas just include green salsa and cheese topping. These are actual Mexican Enchilada recipes, not the commercial versions sold in many places and passed off as enchiladas. Hope you enjoy them.
