Mom's enchiladas


3 cups shredded chicken
2 cups (8 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese with peppers
1/2 cup sour cream (plus more... see below)
1 (4.5-oz) can chopped green chilies, drained
1/3 cup cilantro
8 (8-in) tortillas
vegetable cooking spray
1 (8-oz) container sour cream (you could definitely use less)
taco sauce
toppings: diced tomato, chopped avocado, chopped green onions, olives, chopped cilantro, cheese

1. Stir first 5 ingredients together
2. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over each tortilla and roll up
3. Arrange in a lightly greased 13x9 baking dish
4. Coat tortillas with vegetable cooking spray
5. Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown
6. Stir together sour cream and taco sauce, about a 1:1 ratio, or to your liking
7. Spoon over hot enchiladas and sprinkle with toppings

CHEF'S Notes... lol jk. Just "notes": 
-We used no cilantro in this recipe because we didn't have any, and it was still tasty.  
-We also added sautéed corn the chicken mixture which was a good addition.   
-Also, the first time I made this, I must've stuffed the tortillas a lot because I only got 6.  The second time, I must've skimped on the innards, because I  made more than 8...just in case you care.

  1. I am excited to try this recipe. I remember on one of our visits your mom made enchildas. My kids really liked them. This sounds like what I remember Bernice mixing together. I will have to try it when Colin is home from school at Thanksgiving. So glad you put it on the blog. Aunt Nancy
