Preparation

  • Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll them up, and place them seam-side down into the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining sour cream mixture over the top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Baking

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

If your sauce seems thin, it's fine — ovens hide things. If it seems thick, congratulations, you’re ahead of schedule. Cover with foil if you hate browning; remove foil at the end if you've changed your mind. Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave or baked.
