2 cups sour cream

Easy-Peasy Preparation Steps
Creating these cheesy chicken enchiladas is as easy as pie – or should I say, enchiladas? Here’s a step-by-step guide:
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack (or a Mexican blend of cheese), sour cream, cream of chicken soup, green chiles, chopped onion, salt, and pepper.
Take the 8-inch tortillas and place 1/2 cup of the mixture in the center of each. Roll them up.
Grease a 9×13 baking dish and place the tortillas in a single layer. Cover them with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese on top reaches a golden, bubbly perfection.
Storing and Reheating Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
Storing
Had your fill but still have leftovers? Fear not! Store any extra cheesy chicken enchiladas in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep their flavor for up to 3 days. Or wrap tightly and place in airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Simply thaw and reheat.
Reheating
Reheat your enchiladas in a preheated 350°F oven. Place the enchiladas in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and bake for 15-20 minutes. Or microwave for a few minutes to heat through.
