These Enchiladas Suizas or Swiss-style Enchiladas are rich, creamy and loaded with flavor. The roasted red pepper and cilantro jump out at you with every bite. The corn tortillas can be a bit tricky to roll, they tend to crack if they are not warmed to the right temperature. If you are unable to warm them beforehand, try using flour tortillas instead. Make them in your 10 inch oven with 8 coals in a circle around the bottom and 16-18 on top. The nutty, rich flavor of the cheese makes these enchiladas a sure winner.
