Preparation
- Step 1
Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the enchilada sauce, condensed soup and sour cream. Spread ½ cup in the baking dish; set aside the remaining 3½ cups creamy enchilada sauce.
- Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and chiles (including any liquid from the can); set aside.
- Step 4
Sprinkle about 2 heaping tablespoons mozzarella on a tortilla, then add a heaping ⅓ cup of the shredded chicken and chiles. Tightly roll up the tortilla and place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Continue filling and rolling the remaining tortillas with 2 tablespoons mozzarella and a heaping ⅓ cup chicken mixture, placing the tortillas in the baking dish as they are filled, pushing the rolled tortillas as needed to fit in a single layer.
- Step 5
Pour the reserved creamy enchilada sauce over the filled tortillas. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. If you’d like it to be a bit browner in spots, you can pop it under the broiler for another minute or two.
- Step 6
Sprinkle enchiladas with tomato and cilantro and pass with lime wedges for squeezing on top. Serve enchiladas with rice and beans, if desired. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat in a 300-degree oven.

One uses flour tortillas for burritos. Use corn tortillas for enchiladas. Mozzarella is for Italian food. Use Monterey Jack. Otherwise a comforting Americanized kind of casserole dish kids enjoy.
Corn tortillas should briefly be submerged in a pan of warm enchilada sauce before stuffing and rolling. Otherwise, they don't cook completely and soften. Instead, they may just dry out.
OMG, the recipe reminds me of my mum's Tuna ala King from the 1950's- canned tuna and condensed cream of mushroom soup on Wonder Bread toast! What's next, Texas canned fruit cocktail suspended inside jello topped with Reddi-Whip (aerosolized cream). Who knew it stuck to ceilings as well as your ribs?
I've made sour cream chicken enchiladas for years, always with corn tortillas. I admit, when I made Joanna's sauce with salsa verde, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup, I loved the taste. I could imagine it with diced rotisserie chicken as a dip at Christmas. But things went downhill from there. I just find flour tortillas incredibly gummy. Gobs of Mozz don't help. I'm going back to corn tortillas with Cheddar or Mex cheese. And maybe some of her sauce. Maybe even on tostadas.
This is a basic comfort food recipe, not an authentic enchilada recipe. It was exactly what I was searching for in the moment.
Just fantastic... Do your corn tortillas and change up everything in the recipe and then come on here and call it terrible... Such a weeknight treat..
