Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 (4 oz) can green chiles
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it nice and hot for baking.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, stirring for about a minute to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, letting it simmer until thickened, which should take a few minutes.
- Stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Combine the cooked chicken, cilantro, green chiles, and tomatoes in a bowl for the filling.
- Take a tortilla and place a portion of the chicken mixture on one end. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas, packing them snugly in the dish.
- Pour the sour cream white sauce evenly over the enchiladas, then sprinkle generously with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve hot and enjoy the comfort of homemade enchiladas!
Notes
For added flavor, rotisserie chicken can be used and taco seasoning can be added for extra zing.
