The best Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas Recipe that are great for Mexican food night!

 In case you never noticed before, Mr. Wishes and I are major Mexican food junkies and I cook it up at least once per week for lunch or dinner.  These amazing enchiladas are the epitome of real comfort food and some of the best Mexican food I’ve made in my kitchen in a while…even your kids will love them!  The sour cream definitely enriches the sauce to a point where it’s simply irresistible.  You can even opt to use Greek yogurt to make this ten times healthier without altering the taste too much.  That’s probably not actually accurate, but you get the point.  Personally, I prefer to use the sour cream and “splurge” a little.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
 
Ingredients
  • 10 small soft flour tortillas (can also use corn tortillas, but I like flour)
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2½ cups shredded and cooked chicken (I like to use rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 cups Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 10 oz can of Rotel (mixture of tomatoes and diced green chilies)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Combine shredded chicken and 1 cup of cheddar cheese
  3. Fill tortillas with the mixture above and roll each one then place in a greased 9×13 pan
  4. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat
  5. Stir flour into butter and whisk for 1 minute over heat.
  6. Add broth and whisk together. Cook over heat until it’s thick and bubbles up.
  7. Take off heat for a few minutes and then add in sour cream and can of Rotel. (you don’t want it super hot when you add the sour cream or it will curdle!)
  8. Pour mixture over enchiladas and add remaining 2 cups of cheese to top.
  9. Bake in oven for 20-23 minutes then you will want to broil for 3 minutes to brown the cheese. Enjoy!
