Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it forms a smooth, golden paste.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth to the roux, minimizing lumps, until the sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced onion, green chiles, cilantro, and 1 cup of cheese mixture. Mix well.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Assembling
- Spread a thin layer of white sauce on the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish.
- Place about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
- Pour the remaining white sauce over the rolled enchiladas, covering them completely.
- Sprinkle with the remaining Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
Baking
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce bubbles around the edges and the cheese is golden brown.
- Let enchiladas sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with a fresh side salad, avocado slices, or tortilla chips. A drizzle of salsa Verde or guacamole enhances the flavor.
