These cream cheese chicken enchiladas are so much more than your average enchiladas. This recipe takes shredded chicken and combines it with tangy sour cream, cream cheese, and the perfect balance of spices. Then, all of that deliciousness gets wrapped up in flour tortillas, covered in a rich enchilada sauce and melty cheese, and baked to perfection. Best of all though, these chicken enchiladas come together with just 10 minutes of prep work!
