Delicious and Guilt-Free Chicken Enchiladas

I had been looking for a recipe for restaurant-quality enchiladas with sour cream sauce, and my friend’s grandma gave me this one that’s made with ingredients that are lower in fat and calories. It’s so simple to make! If you don’t like really spicy foods, the optional items listed can be removed from the recipe and the dish is just as yummy.
