Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8-10 small flour tortillas
3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
3 cups Monterey jack cheese (shredded-divided)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4-ounce can) diced green chilies mild
2-3 tablespoons green onions (sliced)

Steps:

  • Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine chicken and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Fill tortillas with this mixture and roll each one up then place seam side down in the prepared pan.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet. Sprinkle flour over melted butter and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the flour taste. Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in broth. Place back on the heat and cook until the mixture has thickened and is bubbly. Cool sauce for 3-5 minutes. (Don't skip this step- if the sauce is too hot and you add the sour cream it will curdle it-yuck!) Add sour cream and chilies and stir until sauce is smooth and sour cream is completely dissolved.
  • Pour sauce over enchiladas and add remaining cheese over top. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until enchiladas are heated through and sauce is bubbly. Turn on the broiler and broil until the top is nicely golden. Top with chopped green onions and serve.

ENCHILADAS BLANCAS



Enchiladas Blancas image

These taste just like the enchiladas blancas from my favorite Mexican restaurant in Old Town, San Diego. So rich and yummy!! A MUST TRY! These tend to look pertty messy on the plate, but with all the cheesy gooeyness, who cares?!? I like to add chopped iceberg lettuce and roma tomato to the side of each portion, along with Mexican rice. I also put a drizzle of salsa verde down the center of each enchilada.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 -2 1/2 lbs chicken breasts
1 carrot
parsley
salt and pepper
16 ounces monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
7 ounces green chilies (diced or chopped)
8 -12 small corn tortillas
1 garlic clove, chopped
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
10 ounces cream of chicken soup (do not dilute)
16 ounces sour cream (can use less)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2-3/4 cup green onion (chopped)
2 -3 ounces black olives (sliced)

Steps:

  • Put chicken breasts and carrot in a pot, cover with water. Add salt and pepper and parsley. Cook chicken on medium heat until it turns white and is cooked through. (About 30-45 minutes) Remove chicken, allow to cool. Discard, carrot and water. Shred chicken by pulling the striations apart with a fork.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix 8 oz of cheese blend, chili powder, olives, and chicken together. Add ABOUT 6 oz of sour cream, enough to turn the chicked mixture into a paste like consistency.
  • In a frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil and garlic.
  • fry tortillas one at a time in the garlic oil for a few seconds each side. Just enough to soften the tortilla for rolling. Do not dry off.
  • Roll about a 1/4-1/3 cup of chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Fold edges around and place in a baking dish seam down. This process does not have to be perfect since when it bakes the cheese and sour cream go everywhere anyway. Continue this process until the pan is full.
  • Combine the soup, chilies, 8 oz of sour cream, and remaining cheese blend (leave a sprinkle for the top of the pan in the end) in a bowl. Also add any remaining chicken mixture. Smother enchiladas with this sauce. It will look like too much, but the more sauce the better here.
  • Bake for 25 minutes at 350. sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top with the sliced green onion. Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
