Ingredients

For a 9x9 pan (5ish enchiladas)

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, colby jack)
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 5 flour tortillas (I like taco size)

For a 9x9 pan (8-9 enchiladas)

  • 5 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, colby jack)
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 8 flour tortillas (taco size fits best)

Instructions

  • Prepare your cooking dish by spraying with cooking spray.  Place a little bit of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of the pan.
  • In a large skillet or non-stick pan, cook your chicken if not already cooked.  (You can add your onions in while cooking the chicken and then skip step #3).
  • In a large skillet or non-stick pan, add a bit of olive oil and cook your onions on medium heat for a few minutes to soften them.)
  • To the skillet, add your sour cream, most of your cheese and the rest of your enchilada sauce.  Cook  until the cheese melts and the sour cream is all blended in.
  • Using a slotted spoon, place a little bit of the mixture into the middle of a tortilla.  Roll and place in your pan.  Repeat the process until all of the mixture is gone, except all of the sauce. 
  • You should be left with more of the sauce.  Pour that right on top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until heated through and cheese is nice and melty.
