Easy Chicken Enchiladas
Easy Chicken Sour Cream Enchiladas Your Family will Love
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups cooked shredded chicken (I use cooked rotisserie chicken)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup chopped parsley
- 1 large can enchilada sauce (La Victoria is my favorite)
- 3 cups shredded cheese (I use Mexican blend)
- 10-16 9" flour tortillas
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- In a large pan over medium heat, add a teaspoon of olive oil. Add the onions and cook until translucent, stirring often.
- Combine chicken and onions in the frying pan. Stir until combined.
- Pour ½ cup of enchilada sauce over the chicken and onion mixture – just enough to coat the chicken.
- Add sour cream and parsley. Stir until combined.
- Once the sour cream and parsley are fully combined, turn off the heat. Now add the shredded cheese. I usually add 2 to 2-½ cups. Sometimes more. It just depends on how cheesy you want it. I like the mixture to be creamy and cheesy. Once the cheese is melted and combined with the chicken sour cream mixture.
- Pour just enough sauce in a baking dish to cover the bottom of the dish. (UPDATED: spray pan with non-stick cooking spray first)
- Fill the tortillas. Spoon sauce onto a tortilla, and then some of the chicken mixture.
- Roll the tortilla and place in the baking dish. Repeat until enough tortillas fill your baking dish – or until the chicken mixture is all used up.
- Pour enchilada sauce over the completed enchiladas and spread evenly over the top.
- Top with shredded cheese and garnish with chopped parsley. Cover with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Bake until sauce is bubbling, tortilla edges are slightly crisp, and the cheese is melted.
Enjoy! Serves 8-10
