Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
"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. -
I liked this, but the kids wouldn't eat it. I may try again with half a can or so of the green chilies as my enchiladas came out VERY spicy. Otherwise this was an easy to prepare meal.

Delicious! I cut the pepper in half as suggested by a previous reviewer and used light instead of fat-free products for personal taste. The end result was wonderful! I took your advice and doubled the recipe, freezing one batch as there is a new baby coming in a couple weeks :) Thanks!

I am the appointed cook in our family of four! Love spicy and flavorful food! Currently incorporating a "low fat" life style, while also trying to lower the amount of time and effort required to provide these meals! Loving my crock-pot!
