Instructions
 

  • Make the Sour Cream Sauce
  • MELT butter in saucier pan on medium low heat.
  • ADD onions and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • WHISK in flour and continue to whisk until butter and flour are combined. This is your roux.
  • COOK roux for 5 minutes on medium low heat, until it turns a light tan color.
  • POUR in ¼ cup of chicken broth and whisk until you have a paste.
  • SLOWLY ADD the remaining chicken broth, whisking until smooth before adding more broth.
  • MIX in the sour cream and green chilies. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • SEASON with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • SPRINKLE in ½ cup of shredded cheese. Mix until smooth.
  • PREHEAT oven to 350° Fahrenheit.

  • LAY out items in work area: tortillas, chicken, sour cream sauce, cheese, and baking dish.
  • SPREAD a thin layer of sauce at the bottom of the baking dish.
  • SELECT a tortilla.
  • SPOON ¼ cup of chicken two inches from the edge.
  • DRIZZLE 1 tablespoon of sour cream sauce on the chicken.
  • SPRINKLE 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese on top.
  • ROLL the tortilla into a cylinder.
  • PLACE the rolled tortilla seam side down in the baking dish.
  • ROLL the remaining tortillas and place side by side in the baking dish, keeping a small space between each enchilada so they don't stick together when baking.
  • POUR the remaining sour cream sauce over the enchiladas.
  • SPRINKLE with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake
  • BAKE the enchiladas at 350° Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese and sauce are bubbly.
  • REMOVE from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  • GARNISH with guacamole, salsa, corn, and cilantro.
