My husband ate almost the entire casserole dish. He kept saying they were AMAZING after every bite he took. Try these you guys. They're SO easy to make!
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- 2 cups chicken broth/stock
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 to 3/4 of a 4 oz can diced green chilis
- 1/2 to 3/4 of a 4 oz can diced jalapeños
- 8 to 12 small-medium sized flour tortillas
- 3 cups shredded/chopped chicken (I cut up a rotisserie chicken!) (using chicken thigh is amazing if you have time though! Bake with some salt and pepper for 15 minutes at 400 degrees then shred!)
- 2 cups Monterey Jack Cheese (divided) (don't use the packaged stuff - grate your own!)
- 2 cups Muenster cheese (divided) (don't use the packaged stuff - grate your own!)
- 1 stalk green onion chopped for garnish
- Cilantro chopped for garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- more salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grab a rectangle baking dish and spray with Pam.
2. In a bowl, combine the chicken, 1 cup Monterrey jack, 1 cup muenster cheese, and some salt and pepper to taste - once mixed, grab the tortillas and fill each one with some of the filling. Roll them and place them seam-side down into the casserole dish - continue until the dish is filled.
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Once melted - add the flour and whisk constantly - do this for at least 1-2 minutes to cook out the flour taste.
4. Off the heat, begin to gradually whisk in your broth. Whisk constantly to get rid of any lumps. This is important to keep going until all mixed in. Put back on medium heat and continue to whisk/stir while it bubbles for the next few minutes until smooth and beautiful and thickened.
5. Once nice and thick - remove from heat. We want this to have time to cool before we add the sour cream. Once cooled for a few minutes - add your chilies, jalapeños, salt, pepper and sour cream. Stir until combined.
6. Now you can start to get excited. Pour all of the sauce over the rolled tortillas. Make sure it gets in every nook and cranny !!
7. Top the casserole with the rest of the cheese - OMG.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes - you'll be able to see the sauce bubbling away. At the end, turn on the broiler (don't you dare walk away) and get that cheese nice and golden. Top with fresh cilantro and green onion ! Serve baby serve!
