What sauce do you use for Sour Cream Enchiladas?
Sour Cream Enchiladas are typically going to be made with a white sauce that uses milk, sour cream, and flour.
In this case, I use gluten-free all-purpose flour.
If you are in a hurry though, you can always use a red enchilada sauce as well, but for this recipe, we will be using a white sour cream sauce.
What tortillas do you use for enchiladas?
This recipe is made with 6-inch white corn tortillas; however, you can also use flour if you prefer.
If you use white corn tortillas, these need to be warmed up either on the stovetop or in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
If you skip this step, then the tortillas will rip or tear.
Tips for Making Sour Cream Enchiladas:
These enchiladas are very mild if you want them to be more spicy use extra cayenne pepper or red pepper.
The Rotel can also be purchased spicy as well instead of mild.
As far as cheese goes, I highly recommend buying a block of cheese and shredding it by hand at home. The already shredded cheese at the store does not melt like the blocks of cheese will.
We like to use a combination of sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey jack cheese. This gives a great flavor to the dish.
When preparing the filling, adding the taco seasoning is what is going to give the chicken its flavor along with the sour cream. This can also be store-bought or use 2 TBSP of Homemade Taco Seasoning.
These Sour Cream Enchiladas are easy to make gluten-free with corn tortillas and gluten-free all-purpose flour; however, always check all ingredients first before using them.
