These rich and cheesy sour cream chicken enchiladas, which start with a rotisserie chicken to cut down on prep, are comfort food at its finest. They're filled with tender pulled chicken, rich sour cream, smoky cumin, green chiles, and gooey Jack cheese, and they forego the classic spicy tomato. Combine the chicken, sour cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl; set aside. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
