Poncho’s sour cream enchiladas were my fave enchiladas since I was a small child. We spent hours in line with Mexican artifacts lined up in window boxes on the walls. On the weekends, we would sometimes get to splurge and have these enchiladas, soft cheese tacos, rice, and a taco. The dessert was a pillowy fresh sopapilla. With fresh butter and honey! There are only a few of them now, so I was desperate to figure this dupe out.

  • 2 cans Campbells tomato soup (10.5 oz each)
  • 1 can chicken or vegetable broth

How To Make copycat poncho’s sour cream enchiladas

  • Step 1
    Add the tomato soup to a large saucepan. Add chicken broth to one soup can. Add all spices and bring to a boil.
  • Step 2
    Coat the bottom of a cake pan with a thin layer of sauce.
  • Step 3
    Dip tortillas into the hot mixture one at a time.
  • Step 4
    Put shredded cheese in the middle of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla around the cheese. Repeat until the pan is filled.
  • Step 5
    Pour remaining sauce over top and spread evenly.
  • Step 6
    I like to mix sour cream with a splash of chicken broth to thin it out a bit. Then dollup over the enchiladas. Smear it around on top a bit.
  • Step 7
    Bake on 350 degrees covered till cheese is melted. Roughly 15 min. Serve with your favorite sides!
