Prepare the Red Sauce:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\nIn a small pot, bring water to a boil. Add the dried guajillo and chile de \u00e1rbol chiles. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.<\/p>\n
\nIn a blender, combine the softened chiles, tomatoes, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, and 1 cup of chicken broth. Blend until smooth. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother consistency, if desired.<\/p>\n
\nHeat a little oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the blended sauce and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth, season with salt, and cook until the sauce thickens slightly.<\/p>\nPrepare the Enchiladas:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\nHeat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Quickly fry each tortilla for 10-15 seconds on each side until soft, but not crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.<\/p>\n
\nPreheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Dip each tortilla into the red sauce to coat both sides. Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken and a little shredded cheese. Roll them up and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.<\/p>\n
\nPour the remaining red sauce over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle the top with additional shredded cheese and drizzle with Mexican crema.<\/p>\n
\nBake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.<\/p>\n
\nGarnish with fresh cilantro and serve your Enchiladas Suizas Rojas<\/strong> with extra crema and a side of rice or beans.<\/p>\n
