Enchiladas:

12 tortillas

4 cups shredded chicken

6 oz cream cheese

4 oz cans of fire roasted diced green chiles

2 1/2 cups Mexican style cheese

1 1/4 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

juice of 1 lime

3/4 teaspoon salt

Sauce:

2 tbsp butter

1/2 large yellow onion

2 1/2 tbsp flour

1 1/4 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup milk

2 cups green enchilada sauce (buy the 28 oz can)

3/4 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Cilantro, sour cream, and lime to garnish

Instruções

preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Add the shredded chicken, cream cheese, 4 oz fire roasted diced green chiles, 1 cup shredded cheese, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and lime to a large bowl and mix.

In a large sauce pan, sauté onions in the butter on medium heat. Once softened, add the flour and stir. Cook for about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and stir. Let it come to a simmer and thicken. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Take off the heat.

Pour some of the leftover green enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Assemble the enchiladas. I fit 8 across a 9 x 13 and then 4 more in a 8 x 8 dish.

Put the chicken mixture in the tortilla and roll it up and place in the baking dish. Once you’ve assembled them all in the dish, pour over the sauce.

Top with cheese and place it in the oven until the cheese is melted and edges are bubbling. Then broil it for a couple minutes for some color on the cheese.

Top with cilantro, lime, and sour cream!
