Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup diced green chilies
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 12 corn tortillas
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, diced green chilies, and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 10 seconds on each side, then place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- In the same skillet, add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread a small amount of the sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla, roll up, and place seam side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!
