Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 onion chopped
1/2 pint sour cream (I used light)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used 2% cheese)
1 T dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried cilantro
1/2 tsp cumin
1-2 15 ounce can enchilada sauce
1 T chili powder (I omitted this)
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper (I did not have this, but someone used yellow or red pepper in exchange)
1 clove garlic minced
8-12 (10 inch) flour or corn tortillas
1 12 ounce jar taco sauce/salsa
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Boil chicken in a pot with or without chicken broth or a bouillion cube
While chicken is cooking, chop onion, garlic, and pepper (I used the mini food processor) Once the chicken is done I chopped the chicken in the food processor to a consistency that makes you happy.
Place chicken, onion, garlic, and pepper in a pot or skillet...add sour cream, seasonings, 1 cup cheddar cheese, 1 can of enchilada sauce and cook until the cheese has melted.

3. Roll even amounts of the mixture in each tortilla and place in a baking dish. Cover with taco sauce, extra enchilada sauce, and 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese. I try to cover the tortillas with sauce to keep them from getting too dry.

4. Bake uncovered in the oven for 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
