Easy Enchiladas Suizas Recipe

As part of a sponsored campaign with Latina Bloggers Connect and Real California Milk I made one of my favorite Mexican dishes: Enchiladas Suizas using Hispanic California dairy products to add an authentic touch. #VivaCADairy

Enchiladas suizas

 

I’ve always been a big fan of dairy and always though the more cream and cheese in a dish the better. When I was a kid my parents would tease me because I added sour cream (crema) to everything from my fresas con crema, to my frijolitos and my huevos rancheros.  That is why being asked to share a dishes using California dairy was a great excuse to indulge in making one of my favorite’s the Enchiladas Suizas.  It’s no wonder that Enchiladas Suizas is one of the creamiest and cheesiest of all Mexican dishes. Every time I dig into a dish of Enchiladas Suizas I feel like I am in heaven, creamy cheesy heaven.

 

Real California cheese and mild products

 

For the Enchiladas Suizas recipe I used crema Mexicana, mozzarella cheese and queso fresco all of them made with California Diary.  Did you know that California produces more milk, butter and ice cream than any other state and is the 2nd largest producer of cheese? California produces more than 25 varieties and styles of Hispanic-style cheeses and all of them have the Real California Cheese seal, this certifies that they are natural cheeses (who wants a processed cheese?! YUCK!) made in California exclusively from California milk. California really knows about dairy and 99% of the California dairies are family owned, love that!

But how do you know if a product is made with California dairy?  It’s super easy: just look for the Real California Milk seal or the Real California Cheese Seal.  So look for the seal to make sure you are getting a quality dairy product made with 100% California milk.

Look for the Seals

So here is the recipe for Enchiladas Suizas we use in my family, hope you enjoy it!
