Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat the bottom of a large baking dish with enchilada sauce. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, taco seasoning, ¼ cup enchilada sauce, and sour cream. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 2
Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and heat them for 30-60 seconds. Make sure they are pliable, this will help to prevent breaking. You can also spray them with a touch of cooking spray when warm to further prevent breaking. For a more traditional option, lightly fry each tortilla for 5-7 seconds per side in vegetable oil. Gently fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture. Roll tightly and place seam side down in the baking dish. Optional: Before filling the tortillas, dip each one in warmed enchilada sauce.This step works better when the tortillas have been lightly fried.
