If you are on Pinterest, you have probably seen this one many times. I know I have. "According to many pinners-THE BEST white chicken
enchilada recipe ever!! And no creamed soups" is what the comments read.
Ok, it caught my attention. So I decided to give it a whirl.
If anything, this was super easy to make. I already like to put sour cream on my enchiladas, so this recipe puts it in the dish which helps me not overdo it on top. I was expecting this dish to be spicier than it actually turned out to be. I may even try kicking it up a notch next time. As for the taste, if you have ever has the white queso dip at a Mexican restaurant, this is a very similar taste. It’s very creamy. If you don’t like a cheesy taste, then steer clear of this dish. This is NOT a problem in my house.
