Ingredients:

For the Enchiladas

 

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)

 

2 cups shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend)

 

10 flour tortillas (small or medium)

 

1 teaspoon garlic powder

 

½ teaspoon onion powder

 

½ teaspoon cumin

 

½ teaspoon paprika

 

¼ teaspoon black pepper

 

For the White Sauce

 

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

 

2 cups chicken broth

 

1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)

 

1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies

 

½ teaspoon salt

 

¼ teaspoon black pepper

 

For Topping (Optional)

 

Fresh cilantro, chopped

 

Sliced jalapenos

 

Extra shredded cheese

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prepare

 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

 

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

 

2. Assemble the Enchiladas

 

In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, 1 cup cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, and black pepper.

 

Fill each tortilla with about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

 

3. Make the White Sauce

 

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, then whisk in flour. Cook for 1 minute until golden.

 

Slowly add chicken broth, whisking continuously until thickened (2-3 minutes).

 

Remove from heat and stir in sour cream, diced green chilies, salt, and pepper.

 

4. Bake the Enchiladas

 

Pour the white sauce evenly over the enchiladas.

 

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.

 

Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

 

5. Serve & Enjoy

 

Garnish with fresh cilantro or jalapenos.

 

Enjoy!
