Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the tomatillos, onion and both chiles in a medium heavy saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the tomatillos turn an olive-green color, about 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the tomatillos, onions and chiles to a blender. Add the garlic and cilantro and blend until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Mix the Mexican crema and heavy cream together in a small bowl and season with salt. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tortillas until golden but still pliable, about 10 seconds per side, using more oil if needed. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Place the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the shredded chicken evenly among the tortillas and roll up each like a cigar. Spread 1/3 cup of the sauce in a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the enchiladas in 1 layer, seam-side down, snugly inside the dish. Pour the rest of the sauce over the enchiladas. Drizzle the cream mixture on top and sprinkle the cheese all over.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and starting to brown in spots, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute bell pepper and onion until slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
- Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until starting to turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add to vegetable mixture and stir in cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, and salt.
- Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add chicken broth and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and salsa.
- Stir 1 cup of cheese sauce into the shrimp mixture.
- Fill 1 tortilla with 1/3 cup of the shrimp mixture. Roll tightly and place seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas; pour remaining sauce over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until the tops are golden brown, about 35 minutes. Sprinkle jalapeno over the top, followed by remaining Monterey Jack cheese. Return to the oven and continue baking until melted, about 5 minutes more.

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS
A creamy, cheesy, comfort-food take on enchiladas. The name of this dish means "Swiss enchiladas," not because it's a Swiss recipe but because of the generous use of dairy as compared to the more traditional Enchiladas Rojas.

Steps:
- Place chicken in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by at least 2 inches. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from water; transfer to a plate. When cool enough to handle, shred into bite size pieces. You should have about 3 cups.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to broil with a rack in the position closest to the heating element. Arrange tomatillos, poblano, onion wedges, garlic, and jalapeno in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, flipping once halfway through, until blackened in places and beginning to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender; add cilantro, sour cream, 3/4 cup water, lime juice, and salt and puree until smooth.
- Turn oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1 cup enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of an 8-by-12-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, toss chicken with 1 cup enchilada sauce. Place about 1/3 cup of chicken in the center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas to enclose filling. Arrange enchiladas in a single layer in prepared baking dish, seam-side down. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top, then sprinkle evenly with cheese.
- Bake until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Serve with cilantro leaves, chopped onion, and sliced jalapeno.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Place jalapeno peppers, tomatillos, green onions, quartered onion, and cilantro in a food processor. Pulse until mixture is coarsely chopped, about 8 pulses. Pour mixture into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer; cook about 5 minutes. Stir in cream and chicken broth; season with salt and pepper. Return to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Place shrimp and spinach in a skillet over medium heat. Cover tightly and cook until spinach wilts and shrimp are heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Wipe skillet dry and pour in 1 teaspoon of the oil; heat oil over medium heat. Place a tortilla in skillet about 10 seconds; turn and heat on second side about 5 seconds to soften for easier handling. Fill tortilla with a tablespoon of the shrimp and spinach mixture and about a tablespoon of shredded cheese. Repeat with each tortilla adding more oil to the skillet as needed. Place filled tortillas snugly in prepared baking dish.
- Pour sauce over tortillas and sprinkle with remaining grated cheese and any remaining filling. Top with dollops of sour cream and some green pepper sauce, if desired.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

SWISS ENCHILADAS ( ENCHILADAS SUIZAS)
This one is from my 1972 Sunset Mexican cookbook. Everyone has their preconceptions. One which is quite common in many places of the world is that the Swiss are all dairy farmers, a la Heidi. So it's only natural for the Mexicans, who have far fewer dairies, to name this dish in honor of that far away and mystic land. Be that as it may, this is one incredible dish, a real diet buster!

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS
Not what I usually find for Spanish/Mexican food. These enchiladas have become a family treat. They're really rich, and taste even better as leftovers. The extra prep time is worth every second to get a dish this impressive that tastes so great. Because everything is pre-cooked, you can save prepared dish in fridge and oven it later. My sister was so proud to make them herself, she took them into her high school Spanish class! (needless to say they were a big hit, and she didn't save any for us... ) Super for a special dinner, or frozen for later lunches, even non-cooks can pull this one off!

Steps:
- Cook and chop chicken into small pieces (I usually boil it to remove any fat, and then cube it) drain chilies and combine with cooked chicken with 3/4 bottle of salsa in a bowl.

- Pour 1 container of the light cream into a pie pan, and mix in some salt.
- Set cream pan next to bowl of chicken and a large plate near the stove.
- Spray a rectangular baking pan/dish with non-stick cooking spray, and preheat oven to 350°F; add oil to small frying pan and heat it while you set up a stack of paper towels next to the stove.
- Begin assembly of dish!
- Fry 1 tortilla in oil (turn it over -- ) until bubbly, but still limp, remove from oil and set on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Dip fried tortilla in cream, then set on plate and fill with large spoonful of chicken mix.
- Roll up tortilla and place seam side down in baking pan.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- (This will go MUCH FASTER if you have one person to fry the tortillas and another to fill them-we always made it a family thing).
- Pour remaining cream over the pan of enchiladas and top with remaining salsa and cheese.
- Bake in 350°F oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Tips:
- Use large shrimp for a more substantial filling. If using smaller shrimp, cook them for a shorter amount of time to prevent overcooking.
- If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor to make the tomatillo sauce. Just be sure to puree it until it's smooth.
- If you want a creamier sauce, you can add a dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema to the tomatillo sauce before serving.
- Be careful not to overcook the enchiladas, as they can easily become dry. Bake them just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the enchiladas immediately, topped with your favorite toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole.
