Yummy! Love these! The combination of soup and sour cream makes for a great sauce. I left out the jalapeno since the rotel adds enough heat for us. Used fat free sour cream and fat free cream of chicken soup. Next time I will cut down the amount of sauce, as it's a lot for 12 enchiladas. Otherwise, this was great! Made for Fall PAC 08.
