Description

Comforting cheesy chicken enchiladas baked in a creamy sauce, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, half of the cheese, and diced onion.
  4. In another bowl, blend the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and milk until smooth to create the creamy sauce.
  5. Spoon some of the chicken mixture onto each flour tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
  6. Pour the creamy sauce over the enchiladas, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For a lighter version, use reduced-fat sour cream and cheese. To add depth, experiment with different cheese blends or add spices.
