| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the sour cream, chopped green chilies, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it’s smooth and well-combined. Set aside. |
| 2 | Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked chicken, and finely chopped onion. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. |
| 3 | Assemble the Enchiladas: Take each flour tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the prepared sauce onto it, spreading it evenly over the surface. Next, add a portion of the filling mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture, arranging the rolled enchiladas side by side in the baking dish. |
| 4 | Cover with Sauce: Once all the enchiladas are assembled in the baking dish, pour the remaining sauce over the top, ensuring that each enchilada is generously coated with the creamy mixture. |
| 5 | Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the enchiladas for about 30 minutes, or until they are heated through and the sauce is bubbly. |
| 6 | Serve: Once baked, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional chopped green chilies, if desired. Serve hot alongside your favorite rice dish or a fresh salad. Enjoy the delicious flavors of these Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas with your loved ones! |
