Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 cups sour cream
- 1 can mushroom pieces
- 15 green chilies
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup corn tortillas
- 12 oz cheddar cheese
Recipe Instructions:
- Note: You can cook your own chicken to use instead of using the canned meat. This is what I usually do. Turkey can also be substituted.
- One hour before serving, spread 1 cup of sour cream in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish; set aside.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, flake chicken with a fork, then add 1/2 cup sour cream, mushrooms, green chilies, and seasonings.
- Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
- Preheat the oven to 450Β°F (232Β°C).
- In an 8-inch skillet, heat 1/2 inch of cooking oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook each tortilla for a few seconds on each side, then remove and drain on paper towels. (If watching your fat intake, you can skip this step, and the meal will still be delightful.)
- Along the center of each tortilla, spread 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and place seam side down in the prepared baking pan.
- When all tortillas are filled and placed in the pan, spread the remaining sour cream over the top and then sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until the cheese melts to a gooey, golden perfection.
This recipe yields a savory symphony of flavors, with tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, zesty chilies, and creamy sour cream, all wrapped in warm tortillas and smothered in gooey melted cheese. It’s a delightful twist on a classic Mexican dish, perfect for any occasion where you want to spice up your dinner table with south-of-the-border flair. Whether you’re hosting a fiesta or simply craving a comforting meal with a kick, these Chicken and Sour Cream Enchiladas are sure to satisfy your cravings and leave your taste buds singing with delight! πΆπ§π
