Notes
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (store-bought rotisserie chicken works great)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or mozzarella)
Salt, pepper, and Adobo seasoning, to taste
10 flour tortillas (taco-sized)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
4 oz can diced green chiles (do not drain)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (for topping)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven
to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the filling:
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and season with salt, pepper, and Adobo seasoning to taste.
Assemble the enchiladas:
Fill each of the 10 flour tortillas with the chicken mixture.
Roll them up and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Make the sauce:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, allowing it to thicken (avoid burning).
Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking until smooth.
Stir in the sour cream and diced green chiles. Be careful not to let the sauce come to a boil.
Remove the sauce from heat.
Assemble the dish:
Pour the sauce evenly over the rolled-up enchiladas.
Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top.
Bake the enchiladas:
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the enchiladas are bubbly and the cheese is melted.
If desired, you can broil the enchiladas for an additional 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the cheese on top.
Notes:
This recipe makes 5 servings, assuming 2 enchiladas per person.
