Description

Comforting chicken enchiladas wrapped in warm tortillas and topped with a creamy sour cream white sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 8 corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of sour cream, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, cumin, and salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  3. Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  4. In another bowl, combine the remaining sour cream, shredded cheese, and half of the chopped green onions. Spread this mixture over the rolled tortillas.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Garnish with the remaining green onions before serving.

Notes

For a richer sauce, use extra sour cream. If tortillas are dry, warm them briefly on a skillet. You can add black beans and corn to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
