The other night I decided to try chicken enchiladas for the first time in my life. So I looked up a recipe (the closest to traditional Mexican food I could find), and made a batch.
All I can say is that I LOVE this recipe and will definitely be adding it into my go to meals to make. This recipe makes plenty of food and is a batch of cheesy gooey deliciousness!
Recipe:
Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast
halves
1 onion, chopped
1/2 pint sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 (12 ounce) jar taco sauce
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium, non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook chicken until no longer pink and juices run clear. Drain excess fat. Cube the chicken and return it to the skillet. Add the onion, sour cream, Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano and ground black pepper. Heat until cheese melts. Stir in salt, tomato sauce, water, chili powder, green pepper and garlic.
3. Roll even amounts of the mixture in the tortillas. Arrange in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with taco sauce and 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

I highly recommend giving this recipe a try. I added more chili powder and used ground white pepper for more of a kick of spice. Either way, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Take Care,
Leanne.
