Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried cilantro
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 cup Chihuahua cheese, shredded (Divided: 1 cup for the chicken filling and about 1 cup for topping.)
- 8 small flour tortillas (Use 8–12 fajita- or taco-size tortillas.)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream (Added after removing the sauce from the heat.)
- 4 oz green chiles (Use 1 small can; do not drain.)
- fresh cilantro (For topping.)
Steps
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken with 1 cup of the shredded Chihuahua cheese.
- 3
Add the salt, black pepper, cumin, garlic powder, dried cilantro, and chili powder. Stir thoroughly so the seasonings are evenly incorporated throughout the chicken mixture.
- 4
Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture into a small flour tortilla and roll the tortilla up tightly. Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas.
- 5
Arrange the rolled enchiladas in the greased baking dish. Once all the enchiladas are in the dish, prepare the sauce.
- 6
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- 7
Add the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- 8
Add the chicken broth and stir until the mixture thickens.
- 9
Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the sour cream and the undrained green chiles, then stir well to combine.
- 10
Pour the white sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
- 11
Top the enchiladas with the remaining approximately 1 cup of shredded Chihuahua cheese.
- 12
Bake uncovered at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted. If desired, broil for an additional 1–2 minutes at the end.
- 13
Top with fresh cilantro and serve.
