White Chicken Enchiladas

I know Lacie just barely posted an enchiladas recipe. But seriously can you have enough enchilada recipes?! This one also seemed quite a bit different so I don't think you'd be feeling like you had the same meal twice! Just know that the sauce made for this does not freeze well. If you want to make it as a freezer meal, make the enchilada part (stuff the tortillas) and make the sauce the day of.

Ingredients:
  • 10 soft taco shells (I used 8 burrito size)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken. I've also used a rotisserie chicken
  • 3 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chillies

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350*. Grease a 8x11 pan (or a 9x13 if you are making 10)
  2. Mix chicken and 1 1/2 cup cheese. Roll up in tortillas and place in pan.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt butter, stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth. Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
  4. Stir in sour cream and chillies. Do not bring to a boil. You don't want curdled sour cream.
  5. Pour over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
  6. Bake 22 minutes and then under high broil for 3 minutes to brown the cheese. The broiling part is important, so the tortillas aren't soggy!


Great served with rice and beans. We also topped ours with sour cream and salsa.
