One of my favorite things for dinner when I would be at my dad’s over the weekends growing up was Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas. They went hand in hand with my love of chips and salsa that I still adore today. I could probably live off of chips and salsa but that’s not the point of today’s post.
I don’t make these enchiladas often because they are a bit messy and a bit time consuming but they are so delicious. The fact that we only occasionally make them causes them to be even more of a treat. So delicious.
