1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep – Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix shredded chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Step 2: Prepare the Tortillas – Lightly warm corn tortillas on medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
Step 3: Fill the Tortillas – Place seasoned shredded chicken on each tortilla, roll them tightly, and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
Step 4: Create the Cheesy Sauce – Combine sour cream and half of enchilada sauce in a separate bowl. Pour the mix over filled tortillas and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection – Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy – Let the enchiladas cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, and enjoy!
