Canned chicken is often less expensive and convenient.

Wash tomatillos and jalapeños thoroughly and leave them for about 10 minutes.

Boil tomatillos until they change color, then turn off the heat and let them cool.

Grate the Swiss cheese until you have the whole thing grated.

Blend the cooled tomatillos with garlic, onion, cilantro, and about 1.5 cups of chicken stock for 10 seconds.

Add 3 tablespoons of sour cream to the blender and blend again until well mixed.

Heat a pot with a little vegetable oil, pour in the blended sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn off the heat.

Heat a small pan with a lot of oil and fry the corn tortillas for about 20-30 seconds until they are medium soft.

Fill each fried tortilla with some shredded chicken and fold them.

Place the filled tortillas in a foil or glass pan and pour the sauce over them, ensuring it's not too much or too little.

Sprinkle Swiss cheese on top of the enchiladas and bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes.

Serve the enchiladas with additional sauce and sour cream on top.
