These sour cream enchiladas hit that Mexican craving my family seems to get weekly. They are easy to make and, as I’m sitting here eating leftovers for lunch, great the next day too!

Ingredients

  • 16 oz. fat free sour cream
  • 1 can fat free cream of chicken soup
  • 1 tbls. fresh chopped cilantro (1/2 tbls. dried)
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 1 can Mexican Rotel
  • 1 cup chopped onions (optional)
  • 8 low carb tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack and colby cheese blend
  • 1 can diced green chiles

Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan, mix together sour cream, soup and cilantro. Heat through and set aside.

This is will get to the bubble up/boil stage quickly and make a huge hot mess if you don't keep stirring.

Combine the chicken, rotel, onions and green chiles in a pan sprayed with cooking spray. Heat until onions are transparent. Or if you omit onions like I have done, for a few minutes to blend the flavors and juices.

Warm the tortillas until flexible. (I microwave them for 10 seconds sandwiched between two damp paper towels.)

Fill each tortilla with about 2 tbls. of the chicken mixture.

Top with about 1/2-1 tablespoon of cheese (or a medium sized pinch if you measure like I do)

Roll the tortilla up and place seam side down (or they will unravel and you will be annoyed.) in a 8x11 dish sprayed with cooking spray.

Pour/Spread the sour cream sauce over enchiladas

Top with the remaining cheese

Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted.
