Aunt Janice was Mormor's friend from way before California happened and then in later years changed my and some of my siblings diapers. Years ago, I was at her home for dinner when Cameron was a baby and she made the most wonderful Enchiladas and was kind enough to share the recipes with us. This is what we have used for years.
Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas are great but the cans of cream of mystery soup used in them kind of gross me out. They are basically soy and other hydrogenated cheap filler thickener of the moment ingredient substances that slurp out of the can. Yes they are the staple of many a Midwesterner or Baptist or Mormon or Catholic or other casserole and jello making baking home cook, but replacing with extra sour cream and seasoning can make recipes healthier and less artificial tasting and soy free.
For the Sour Cream Enchilada Recipe posted here, just substitute the soup can amount of more sour cream and a can of soy free canned chicken or other cooked chopped chicken to the mixture. A little dehydrated onion can also help boost the flavor if needed.
For the Regular Red Enchiladas, the shredded lettuce sounded kind of gross when I saw it in the recipe but when you finely shred it, it great and authentic.
