Why This Dip is So Good

  • This recipe combines rich sour cream and cheese, salty bacon, and a ton of flavor to create a super tasty dip that is sure to be a fan favorite!
  • This dip is so incredibly simple and quick to make — literally 3 steps!
  • You can make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge.

How To Make This Recipe

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Chop up the bacon into small pieces. Cook until crispy.
  2. Use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and milk in a large bowl. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients, along with the bacon, to the bowl and stir until fully mixed.

Top Tips For Making

  • If you’ve refrigerated your dip, make sure to let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes prior to serving, otherwise the cream cheese and sour cream will be too solidified for your chip to scoop.
  • Try a vegetable-based “bacon” like Morningstar or soy-based “bacon” pieces like McCormick Imitation Bac’n Bits to keep your dip vegetarian.

What are enchiladas?

Enchiladas have their origins in Mexico. A tortilla is filled and rolled and then covered in a chili sauce and baked. The fillings can contain meats, cheeses, vegetables and beans. The sauce can be tomato based, or cream based like this recipe.

Can you make these creamy chicken enchiladas ahead of time?

You can prep the enchiladas and keep them covered in the fridge for a few hours before you are ready to bake them. Cooked enchiladas will keep covered in the fridge for around 3 days and can be reheated once in the oven or microwave.

What are the best tortillas to use for enchiladas?

Traditionally, corn tortillas are used for this Mexican dinner, but I prefer flour as they are much easier to roll. You can use your favorite tortilla wraps in this recipe; whole wheat, low carb, coconut flour or paleo cassava.

Top Tips to Make Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

  • Use a store bought rotisserie chicken for speed and convinience.
  • You can use frozen or canned corn in this recipe.
  • If you wish to reduce fat and calorie content, you can use low fat sour cream and cheese.
