Sometimes I make a recipe due to a craving. Other times I make a recipe due to the need to use certain ingredients that I have that need to be used. The second reason is the reason I first made these sour cream chicken enchiladas. I had some sour cream in the fridge that needed to be used before it reached it’s expiration date.
I have a sour cream enchilada recipe that I have shared before. However, it uses condensed cream of chicken soup and sour cream for the sauce. The base of this recipe is a creamy sauce made with butter, flour, and sour cream. Some onion, cheese, and green chilies is also mixed in there.
Next you take have of the sauce and mix in the chicken. Then use this chicken mixture to fill the tortillas. Once the tortillas are all filled, you top them with the remaining sauce and some additional cheese. Now it’s tame for these babies to bake.
You baked the sour cream chicken enchiladas covered for 20 minute. Then you uncover them and bake for another 20 minutes. The last thing you want to too is top these enchiladas with your favorite garnish. Green onion, pico de gallo, more sour cream, or olives are great options, but get creative and use what you like.
