Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

Have you ever wanted to eat enchiladas but then look and in your pantry and have no enchilada sauce! Well look no further here is the best no enchilada sauce enchiladas.

It is a homemade enchilada sauce! Made with a rue, green chilies, and sour cream! It is pretty dang yummy! And aren’t too spicy for little kids!
 


I feel like I have tried 100 different recipes for enchiladas. Some I really like and some not so much. This one turned out to be different then most recipes I have tried. The good thing about these ones is that they actually do not take enchilada sauce. The ingredients in these are ingredients that I usually have right in my fridge. I have left over chicken from my Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken so I decided to give this recipe a try! They were very cheesy and creamy! Not spicy at all. They are very kid friendly unlike some of the other enchilada recipes I have tried. So if you are in the mood for enchiladas but don’t actually have enchilada sauce give this recipe a try! These enchiladas can be made ahead and they can be put in the freezer (before you add the sauce). The sauce needs to be made the day of. Thanks Joyful Momma’s Kitchen for the recipe!
