The story behind
Enchiladas Suizas are famous for their balance between the chili's heat and the cream's smoothness. As seen in the image, they are traditionally presented in a clay dish, topped with white onion rings, a touch of sour cream, and fresh cilantro. The melted cheese over the bright green sauce creates an irresistible combination that is a staple of Mexican breakfasts and lunches.
