Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

Michael Stok's Note:

Wonderful, lighter, flavorful, family-friendly, easy recipe. I "stole" this recipe from Liz Papa. This recipe has stood the test of time, and I have modified it (modifications listed after ingredient) to decrease the preparation time, and lessen the fat/calories, while not sacrificing any flavor! It is a family and friend favorite! I usually double this recipe. Freezes and re-heats perfectly! Enjoy!

I adjusted this recipe since I have celiac and can't have gluten. I made my own cream of chicken soup and used corn tortillas instead of flour. I have to say this is the BEST chicken enchiladas I have had outside my favorite hispanic owned, and cooked Mexican resteraunt. They are AWESOME!

My husband loves this because it was not too spicy. This will become a regular on the dinner circuit.

Very good. I added chopped red peppers and garden tomatoes to the sauce. It gave a very distinct tomato flavor, though I didn't think the sauce was spicy enough. Very easy to make as well.
