Enchiladas are delicious but these sour cream enchiladas are going to become your favorite way to make enchiladas whether it's for Halloween or any given night of the week. No need to even turn your stove on, all you need is your oven, a rotisserie chicken, and a few more yummy Mexican ingredients, such as Rotel, limes, crema or sour cream, green chilis, and more. As I'm writing this summary, they are baking in the oven and the aroma filling my house is out of this world! So run to the grocery store, pick up a rotisserie chicken, and let's make these easy sour cream enchiladas!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 rotisserie chicken shredded (I used the white meat)
  • 4 & ½ tsp taco seasoning divided
  • 4 oz Cacique queso fresco crumbled
  • 20 fajita size tortillas
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 4 oz can diced green chilis
  • 10 oz can Rotel diced tomatoes with lime juice and cilantro drained
  • 15 oz Cacique Crema Mexicana Agria or sour cream
  • 8 oz shredded mexican cheese blend
  • 2 tbsp green onion chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a bowl add shredded chicken, crumbled up queso fresco, and 1 & ½ tsp taco seasoning. Mix that up until combined.
  2. Add a heaping spoonful of the chicken filling onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam side down in a greased 9x13 baking dish. (If you're making 20 enchiladas you're going to need two baking dishes).
  3. In a separate bowl add the jar of Crema Mexicana Agria. Then to get the excess sour cream out of the jar, squeeze the lime juice into the jar, put the lid back on, shake it up, and then add that into the bowl as well. Next add in the Rotel, diced green chilis, and 3 tsp of taco seasoning. Mix that together until fully combined.
  4. Pour that creamy mixture all over the enchiladas in the baking dishes. Then sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and the chopped green onions.
  5. Place the baking dishes in the oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. Serve with more crema or sour cream and garnish with tomatoes and lime. Enjoy!
