Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

Entree

I have always avoided making enchiladas for some reason. I always thought they would be way too hard to make!

Well as it turns out, they aren’t hard to make at all! They are actually pretty simple once you find the right recipe.

These turned out so creamy and flavorful, they are definitely going to be added to the rotation! They also got eaten up in no time. I always love it when this happens.
