Lucy Approved Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chili Sour Cream Sauce

My cousin, Colleen. posted this collage to Facebook with the caption "Lucy approved!" so I had to blog them. The enchiladas look divine and Lucy's adorable enthusiasm about them say this recipe is definitely a winner!  I'm adding rotisserie chicken and tortillas to my grocery list for this week.

Simple preparation with complex flavor, this a great work night family recipe and could even be prepared the night before for more dinner hour ease the next night or even frozen for a later date.

Thanks for sharing with us, Colleen and Lucy!.

I have to admit she doesn't get excited about a lot of different foods, she's mostly a kraft dinner girl (kraft mac and cheese for the americans not living in canada). Since she didn't like shepard's pie, i was surprised to find out she loved this.

Wow, that's an even bigger plug for this recipe! And what's not to like? Cheese, chicken, tortillas, sour cream chilis. Yummy, all those things!
