Take Time for Today: Chicken Enchiladas with Hood Sour Cream and Homemade Whole Wheat Tortillas

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Hood.
I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

We live in New England, you know, the land where it snows about a foot every week. Maybe that's a little exaggeration but a half foot wouldn't be any exaggeration at all. I can't see over the snow at the end of my driveway, and it's been frigid here. The kind of frigid where you plan outdoor play activities as soon as the thermometer hits 32 degrees because below-zero temperatures have become the norm! I'm not complaining, but it's just really, really cold and snowy this winter!

With lots of snow to shovel and a three year old who can't get enough of snow play, we've been outside a lot this winter and there's nothing that's better to greet us when we get back in than some good old comfort food! We do a lot of comfort food around here and our winter favorites often have one thing in common... creaminess! And nothing represents creamy deliciousness better than Hood Sour Cream. Whether we are adding it to our enchiladas, plopping some on top of our chili, tacos, and baked potatoes, whipping up a quick dip, or mixing it into our turkey or potato soup, it adds the perfect combination of creaminess, richness, and mouth watering tanginess that keeps us coming back for more.

Did you know that Hood has been in business for 160 years? Talk about having some time to perfect a product! And talk about a lot of years for a lot of people to try and determine that Hood Sour Cream is the very best sour cream out there. Our family has been becoming much more health conscious in our recipe choices and eating habits and when I use Hood Sour Cream, my confidence in the choices of foods I'm providing my family increases. Hood All Natural Sour Cream is just that... all natural, with no artificial ingredients or preservatives.

Here's what we had for dinner last night after shoveling...

Chicken Enchiladas with Hood Sour Cream and

Homemade Whole Wheat Tortillas

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless chicken breasts or tenders
8 oz Hood Sour Cream, plus more for topping
1 can cream of chicken (or whatever) soup (or try this easy homemade recipe for a healthier alternative)
1/2 small can of chopped green chiles (use the whole can if you want them spicy)
8 oz bag of shredded mexican cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions, plus some extra for sprinkling (I used a "heaping" 1/4 cup from my freezer stash)
8-10 soft whole wheat tortillas (try this easy homemade recipe but you will need to adjust the shortening and water - I needed to add a bit more as I went because whole wheat flour is quite a bit tougher than white)
1 jar/can mild enchilada sauce

Directions:

Boil chicken breasts until cooked through (no longer pink), and chop or shred
Make your cream-of-whatever soup
Make your tortillas
Preheat oven to 375 and grease 9x12 casserole dish
Mix shredded chicken, sour cream, cream soup, chiles, green onions, and half of cheese
Fill and roll tortillas and place, fold side down, in casserole dish
Pour enchilada sauce over top and sprinkle with cheese and green onions
Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbling
Top with sour cream, serve, and enjoy!

These were the best enchiladas I ever made. They tasted healthier and more delicious than ever. They didn't leave that heavy, after-Mexican food, feeling in my stomach. I knew what was in the ingredients I used, and I felt confident in them. They were perfectly creamy, thanks to the Hood All Natural Sour Cream (which I ate spoonfuls of as I went...).

Hood offers three varieties of Sour Cream ~ All Natural, Light, and Fat Free ~ and you can read more about them on their website. Also, you can connect with Hood through social media through the following links:
