Creamy Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
Ingredients
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 12 (5 inch) corn tortillas
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take some cooking spray and give a 9x13 inch baking dish a good coating to prevent any food from sticking.
3
In another bowl, mix together the chicken, a generous helping of sour cream, some salt, and a few grinds of pepper.
4
In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, warm some oil until it starts to shimmer.
5
Then, take the corn tortillas one by one and briefly dip them into the hot oil to make them soft, about 10 seconds each.
6
After that, place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, spread it evenly down the center and roll it up tightly into a cylinder shape.
7
Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
8
Once all the tortillas are filled and rolled, sprinkle some chopped green chiles over the top of everything and finish it off with a layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
9
Finally, pop the dish into the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are hot, taking around 12 to 15 minutes.
