Food definitely contributes to abundant family living and we love to eat.  I'll tell you up front that I'm not a great cook.  I've never really enjoyed it, but I'm learning to like it more and more now that our kids are all grown up and I have more time to spend in the kitchen.  The recipes I'll be sharing with you on this blog will be recipes that are easy to prepare with common ingredients.

1 cup of sour cream

4 cups of chopped cooked chicken (I cheated and used 2 bags of frozen grilled chicken.)
2 cups of Mexican blend shredded cheese 
Salt and pepper to taste
9 large soft tortillas

Instructions:

3.  In small frying pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter.  I use the salted butter.  When the butter is melted, add the onion, chopped.  Saute the onion in the butter until slightly browned or browned to suite your taste.  Add more butter if needed.

8.  Spoon the mixture into large soft tortillas.  Fold the tortillas over and lay them upside down in a 9x12 baking dish.  We like the super soft Mission flour tortillas.

I am happy to announce that my entire family loved these enchiladas.  They have already requested to have them again very soon.  I think your family will love them too.  I'll make it easier for you to try it.  If you would like to print the recipe without the photos, you can print it out here.
