Description
These Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas offer a comforting and creamy dinner option that combines tender shredded chicken, smooth sour cream, and mild spices wrapped in soft tortillas and baked with rich enchilada sauce and melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 8 flour tortillas (or corn tortillas for gluten-free option)
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (Monterey Jack and Cheddar blend recommended)
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Sliced avocado
- Additional sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Start by heating oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant. Add the shredded cooked chicken, sour cream, cumin, chili powder, and paprika. Stir everything until well combined and creamy.
- Gently warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft and pliable to prevent cracking while rolling.
- Lay each warmed tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the creamy chicken filling into the center. Roll the tortillas tightly and arrange them seam-side down in a baking dish lightly coated with some enchilada sauce.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are covered well. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top.
- Bake the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
