HOW TO MAKE SOUR CREAM SAUCE FOR CHICKEN ENCHILADAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Sauté onion in hot oil over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until tender.
• Stir together chicken, 1/4 cup sour cream, and 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Stir in onion. Spoon chicken mixture evenly on one end of each tortilla, and roll up. Arrange, seam side down, in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
• Whisk together 2 cans green chiles, milk, and flour in a saucepan over medium heat; gradually add remaining 2 1/2 cups cheese, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth; pour sauce evenly over top of enchiladas. Spread remaining sour cream over sauce.
• Bake enchiladas at 400° for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly. Drain remaining can of green chiles, and spread evenly on top of enchiladas.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together sour cream, green onions 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Heat enchilada sauce in a separate skillet or saucepan. Using tongs, fry tortillas one at a time, for only about five to ten seconds per side (don't allow to crisp.) Remove from oil, then dunk tortilla in enchilada sauce. Lay tortilla on a plate, then spoon a good two or three tablespoons of the sour cream mixture in the middle. Roll tortilla, then place face down in a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas and sour cream mixture. (If there's any sour cream mixture left over, use it as a dip for tortilla chips!)Cover the dish with the remaining cheese, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes until bubbly. Serve immediately. Place a dollop of sour cream on each serving, then sprinkle on sliced green onions.
