Description

The best semi-authentic chicken enchiladas I’ve ever eaten.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Onion
  • 1 can Green Chilies (4oz)
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken
  • ¼ cups Flour
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 package Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 2-½ cups Chicken Broth
  • 10 whole Corn Tortillas

Preparation

Melt 2 T. butter and cook onions until softened, turn off heat. Add chicken and green chilies. Set aside.

Melt remaining butter in saucepan. Blend in flour and seasonings. Whisk in chicken broth. Cook, stirring until sauce boils. Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream and 1/2 cup cheese.

Stir 1/2 cup sauce into chicken mixture. Spoon chicken mixture into tortillas and roll up. Place in 9×13 pan. Top with remaining sauce and cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 for about 25 minutes.

These are delicious!! I don’t normally like creamy sauces, but this one was great. My husband and kids all loved them too. I don’t like rolling enchiladas, so for a shortcut I just layered the tortillas chicken and sauce and ended with sauce and cheese on top. I also cut back a little on the chili powder and added a little extra cumin just because I love the stuff! These will be a regular on our dinner menu.

These are wonderful enchildadas. The sour cream & cheese sauce is very easy to make and have a wonderful flavor. I did grate my monterey jack cheese up fresh (it is all Ree’s fault, she has made me a cheese grating believer!).
It is best to let these sit for 5 minutes or so after coming out of the oven so the sauce will thicken up a bit.

The whole family loved this dish and it was so easy. I’m sure I’ll be making them again and again.

These are amazing! Tried them on a whim one night when I realized I actually had all the ingredients, and my husband and I love them!! We’ve made them several times since, and have substituted various cheese when we don’t have monterrey.

We liked this recipe! I think it needed a bit more salt or spiceyness but it is a great base and we can’t wait to keep making it :D
