🕒 Prep Time: 20 minutes
🕒 Cook Time: 40 minutes
🕒 Total Time: 1 hour

Description:

Indulge in the delightful flavors of these Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas, a perfect blend of tender chicken, creamy sour cream, zesty Rotel tomatoes, and gooey cheddar cheese, all wrapped in warm corn tortillas. This recipe is a crowd-pleaser and a go-to option for a quick and easy dinner, with a hint of spice to tantalize your taste buds.

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can Rotel tomatoes & chilies
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 onion

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • Shred the chicken breasts and combine them with chili powder in a bowl. Set aside.
    • In a saucepan, mix the soup, sour cream, and Rotel tomatoes & chilies. Heat slowly over medium heat, stirring often, until well combined and heated through.
  2. Prepare the Tortillas:

    • In a separate skillet, wilt the corn tortillas in vegetable oil. Once softened, remove and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess oil.
  3. Assemble the Enchiladas:

    • Take each tortilla and place a small amount of the soup mixture, chicken mixture, shredded cheese, and chopped onion onto the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam side down in a casserole dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  4. Bake:

    • Once all the enchiladas are assembled in the dish, pour the remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese and chopped onions.
  5. Bake:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for 30-40 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  6. Serve:

    • Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
