Ingredients
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
8 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine shredded rotisserie chicken, 1 cup of the shredded cheese, and 2 tablespoons of the green chiles.
3. Warm tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll.
4. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
5. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and cook until thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream, remaining green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
8. Pour the sauce evenly over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
9. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
10. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent them from cracking.
Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting and texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning in the sauce before assembling the enchiladas.
