Ingredients:
- 3 cups (450g) cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup (240g) sour cream, divided
- 4 oz (113g) canned diced green chilies, drained
- 2.5 cups (285g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, divided
- 1/2 tsp (3g) garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 2 tbsp (28g) salted butter
- 2 tbsp (16g) all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups (355ml) chicken broth
- 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cumin
- 8-10 corn tortillas
- 1 tbsp (15ml) vegetable oil
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of sour cream, drained green chilies, 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until fragrant but still pale.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to eliminate lumps. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream and cumin until the sauce is smooth and ivory in color.
- Lightly brush a corn tortilla with vegetable oil and warm it in a skillet or microwave for 10 seconds to make it pliable.
- Spread 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture down the center of the tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Repeat for all tortillas, then pour the white sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 1.5 cups of cheese.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
