Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup sour cream
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
½ cup vegetable oil for frying
12 (5 inch) corn tortillas
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Combine the chicken, sour cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl; set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Dip the corn tortillas into the hot oil one at a time until softened, about 10 seconds each. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of chicken mixture onto each tortilla, spread down the center and roll into a cylinder. Place seam side down into the prepared baking dish. When all tortillas are filled and rolled, sprinkle the green chiles over all and top with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and the enchiladas are hot, 12 to 15 minutes.

I'm not sure about the sour cream sauce, but the rest of the recipe sounds good.

I had some leftover enchiladas and they reheated well in the microwave.

These enchiladas were a little too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices to the sour cream sauce.

I made these enchiladas for my vegetarian friend by using black beans instead of chicken. They were a big hit!

I added some chopped green chiles to the sour cream sauce for a little bit of spice. It was the perfect addition!

These enchiladas were easy to make and turned out great! I used rotisserie chicken to save time and they were still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of sour cream, but I really enjoyed these enchiladas. The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was perfectly cooked.

These enchiladas were a hit with my family! The sour cream sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was tender and juicy. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
