Sour Cream Enchiladas

March 21, 2013 by Kristin 32 Comments

I don’t know about your family, but my family LOVES Mexican food. Okay, probably not my kids since they are still little, but my hubby and I are definite fanatics! Yum!! I made these last night and they were a huge hit. My kids ate them up too, so that is a winner in itself right?? These made enough for both of us to have them again for lunch the following day!!

    I am lactose intolerant what can I use to replace sour cream?

    You could use soy sour cream or soy yogurt if your store has it. It’s typically in the organic health food section 🙂

    Have you tried to freeze this for batch cooking? I like to make multiple batches of recipes and eat one and freeze one for later. I wasnt sure if the sauce would freeze and thaw ok.

  17. Kristin

    I never tried freezing these, however, I don’t know how it would do because the tortillas may get mushy after thawing! You could cut this recipe in half though??

    Nope, it just adds a tasty addition, but you can omit!

    First of all I have never made enchiladas. Second, I haven’t eaten any since my Chi Chi’s closed.
    I made these on Sunday. I doubled the recipe. My family flipped. Didn’t even have time to take a pic or bring any home for myself. I used packaged enchilada seasoning in mine.
