A 20-Year Family Recipe: Cream of Chicken Soup Sauce Makes These Enchiladas Dangerously Good

Laura walks through her sister-in-law's beloved chicken enchilada recipe that her family has made for over 20 years. The standout technique: a creamy sauce made from cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and a splash of milk poured over flour tortillas fried in oil, then baked at 350°F until bubbly. The recipe makes enough to fill two 9x13 pans, feeding 7-8 people.
