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!!
Seasoned chicken wrapped in tortillas and covered with a creamy Sour Cream sauce! Makes a great, family approved, dinner option!
- 1 lb chicken, boneless/skinless, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 8-10 flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups Mexican cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 15 oz chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 oz green chiles
-
In a medium skillet, cook chicken and onion in the vegetable oil until chicken is cooked through and onion is tender. *I added 1 tbsp homemade taco seasoning for added flavor at this step! (see recipe below)
-
Divide chicken evenly between tortillas.
-
Place 1-2 tbsp cheese on top of chicken in tortilla. Roll tortilla closed and place seam side down in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
-
In medium skillet, melt butter.
-
Add in flour to create a roux. Allow to cook about 2 minutes.
-
Slowly add in chicken broth and heat until bubbly and thickened.
-
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and chiles. Pour sauce evenly over tortillas.
-
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of sauce.
-
Bake in a preheated oven (400) for about 20 minutes, or until bubbly.

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 🙂

I made this ….it was very good….had fresh avocado an tomatoes with the enchiladas ….will make again…thanks
Ooooo yum! Great idea on adding avocado and tomato on top! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Just tried your sour cream enchiladas. Fantastic!
So glad you enjoyed them! That’s a family favorite in my house!!
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.
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??
Still looking for the recipe for the homemade taco seasoning? It said recipe was below but can’t find it
Oops, good catch! Just added it into the recipe, sorry about that!

Would it matter if I left out the green Chile’s?
Nope, it just adds a tasty addition, but you can omit!
Wow! So delicious!!
Yea!! So glad you enjoyed!
