Instructions
Follow these detailed steps to create your delicious Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally. This step adds depth of flavor to your enchiladas. |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Add the caramelized onions and mix well. This creamy mixture forms the base of your enchilada sauce. |
| 3 | Transfer half of the sour cream mixture to another bowl. Add the shredded cooked chicken to one of the bowls and mix until well combined. This will be the filling for your enchiladas. |
| 4 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). |
| 5 | Take each flour tortilla and spoon some of the chicken mixture onto the center. Roll up the tortilla and place seam side down into a greased 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. |
| 6 | Pour the remaining sour cream mixture evenly over the assembled enchiladas. |
| 7 | Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the enchiladas. |
| 8 | Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly on top. |
| 9 | Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving hot. |
