INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 cups sour cream
  • 2 cups diced chicken
  • 2 cans (4 ounces each) sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1 can (4 ounces) green chile peppers, drained
  • 1/4 cup instant minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon chile powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • vegetable oil
  • 12 corn tortillas

PREPARATION:

Spread 1 cup of the sour cream in bottom of a 13x9-inch baking pan. Combine chicken, 1/2 cup sour cream, mushrooms, green chile, onion, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot.

Preheat oven to 450°.
In a skillet over medium heat, in about 1/4 to 1/2-inch of vegetable oil, fry a tortilla, a few seconds on each side, until softened. Spread about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture along center of tortilla; fold sides over filling and place, seam side down, on sour cream layer in baking pan. Repeat with remaining 11 tortillas and the remaining chicken mixture. Spread the enchiladas with remaining 1 1/2 cups sour cream then sprinkle with cheese.
