Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, ½ cup cheddar cheese, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Warm the flour tortillas (microwave wrapped in towel ~30 seconds or heat in dry skillet) to make them pliable.
- Spoon about ½ cup of the chicken mixture into each tortilla, roll and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth and thickened, then remove from heat and let cool ~1 minute.
- Whisk in sour cream and diced green chiles until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Pour the white sauce evenly over the assembled enchiladas, spreading to the edges. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup Monterey Jack and remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly. Optional: broil 2-3 minutes for golden top.
- Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions or diced tomato/avocado, then serve.
Notes
Feel free to use rotisserie chicken to save time, adjust green chile heat to your preference, and warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
