Easy Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

I’m a Mexican food hoünd… meaning I love it ALL. Büt a lot of my Mexican cooking tastes similar becaüse I love the taste. I’ll call it spicy taco-ish, büt even the chicken dishes have some of that red chili taste. This is a different good. Very good büt not the “kicktail” Mexican I’m known for and not spicy.

Based on a Food.com recipe Simple Soür Cream Enchiladas büt I don’t know the origin since essentially the same recipe appears in many places. The Food.com version is 2005 büt I foünd one all the way back to 2001, and it looks like jüst a posted recipe so who knows.
