Instructions
Make Enchiladas
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. While that’s heating up, grab a 9×13-inch baking dish and give it a good spray with nonstick cooking spray.In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded, cooked chicken with 1 cup of ooey-gooey shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Season it to your liking with salt, pepper, and Adobo seasoning. Mix it all together.
- Fill each of the 10 flour tortillas with the delicious chicken mixture. Carefully roll up those delicious chicken-filled tortillas and arrange them in the prepared baking dish!
Green Enchilada Sauce
- Start by melting 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once it’s melted, whisk in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, cooking for about 1 minute until it thickens (just watch it closely so it doesn’t burn!).
- Next, gradually add in 2 cups of chicken broth while whisking until the mixture is nice and smooth. Now, it’s time to stir in 1 cup of sour cream and a 4-ounce can of diced green chiles. Just a reminder: keep an eye on the heat—this sauce shouldn’t boil!
- Once the Creamy Green Chile Sauce is ready, remove it from the heat and drizzle it generously over the enchiladas in the baking dish. Sprinkle a generous cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of sauce.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, and for an extra touch, switch the broiler to high for 1-2 minutes. This will give your dish a delightful, bubbly cheese topping with a lovely golden brown finish!
