Ingredients
- 12 Hatch green chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded, and chopped
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 12 corn tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the roasted green chiles, cooked chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheese, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream.
- Pour a small amount of the green chile sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable. Spoon a portion of the chicken and green chile mixture onto each tortilla, roll up, and place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Pour the remaining green chile sauce over the top of the enchiladas, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
