Description

These Easy Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas are a delicious and comforting take on traditional chicken enchiladas. With a creamy sour cream sauce, tender shredded chicken, and melted cheese, these enchiladas are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a family gathering. The creamy sauce and cheesy topping make each bite irresistible, and with minimal prep time, this dish is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 10 flour tortillas (small or medium size)
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies (optional)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican cheese blend)
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, green chilies (if using), cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Fill the tortillas: Warm tortillas slightly (in the microwave for 20 seconds) to make them more pliable. Spread a spoonful of the creamy sauce in the center of each tortilla, then add a portion of the shredded chicken.
  4. Roll the enchiladas: Roll each tortilla tightly around the chicken and sauce, and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Top with sauce and cheese: Pour the remaining sauce over the rolled enchiladas, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake: Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are golden brown.
  7. Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Add vegetables: Sautéed bell peppers, onions, or corn can be added to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
Use a different protein: Ground beef, turkey, or shredded pork make great alternatives to chicken.
Make it spicier: Add more diced green chilies, jalapeños, or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free version of this dish.
Cheese variations: Try using Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a different cheese blend for a unique flavor.
