Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas

So delicous and hearty and EASY!

Ingredients

  • 8-10 Flour tortillas (depending on how big your casserole dish is)
  • 2 cups Cooked, shredded chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken)
  • 3 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded 
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Flour
  • 2 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 1 4oz Can green chilies (if you like it really spicy then use a can of diced jalapenos)
  • 1.2 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°

  2. In a sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in flour until a roux forms.  Stir in broth and let simmer until it becomes thick and bubbly-about 3 minutes. Whisk in sour cream, chilies, cumin, salt and 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Do not allow the sauce to boil or the sour cream will "break" meaning it will curdle.

  3. Spread 1/2 cup of sauce in bottom of baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. On a cutting board lay out one flour tortilla.  Fill with 1/4 cup chicken and 1/4 cup cheese down the center (you do not need to be exact). Roll the tortilla up and place into the casserole dish.  Continue with the remaining tortillas, chicken and cheese.

  4. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and top with any remaining cheese.  Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and broil for 3 minutes or until the top becomes brown and bubbly.
