Creamy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe with LALA Crema Mexicana

I used to find spending time in my kitchen was therapeutic and relaxing. These days, though, I find myself irritated that I need to cook three meals a day. So I’m taking this opportunity to teach my boys how to make easy, delicious recipes that they can carry with them through their lives. Creamy chicken enchiladas is a recipe that fits the bill!

I use LALA® Crema Mexicana from Walmart for this recipe because it’s got an authentic Mexican flavor and 0 grams of sugar. It is the #1 Crema en México*, low in sodium and it’s flavorfully rich & creamy. LALA® Crema Mexicana can be found in the Hispanic dairy section of Walmart, alongside the cheeses and chorizo.

This Chicken Enchiladas Recipe is THE BEST I’ve had. They are ultra creamy, beyond delicious and a hit with the whole family. I recently heard it said that enchiladas can’t be called enchiladas if they are made with flour tortillas. I’ve made these with corn and flour. Both are good but I prefer corn. Start to finish, this dish is on your table in well under an hour. The best part? My boys can make this recipe almost entirely by themselves!
