Sour Cream Enchiladas With More!

This base recipe was one of Deb's Recipes (129926) until I modified it so much that I decided I'd better post it with changes so I don't lose my tattered written-on and splattered paper copy! It's a great recipe and the extra shredded zucchini disappears into the flavor of chicken etc - your family may never know, frankly, how much you just are lovin' on them with their meal! If you spend an extra 30-45 minutes making homemade tortillas, your jaw will drop at how much better they taste than the preservative-laden store version!
