Chicken Enchiladas
Look no further if you’re craving a good, creamy, cheesy chicken enchilada.
My aunt Jolene is an amazing cook and gave me the recipe for her famous sour cream chicken enchiladas.
Seriously, these enchiladas are better than any you would order from a restaurant. Plus if you’re wanting to lighten up the recipe, feel free to substitute fat-free sour cream for the full fat version….trust me, you won’t be able to tell the difference. You could also use low-fat cheese and whole wheat tortillas.
Yum….dinner doesn’t get much better than this! Enjoy!
