Serves 8

Ingredients:
8 soft taco-size flour tortillas
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 1/2 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup flour
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9X13 casserole or pan.
2. Mix chicken and Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up in tortillas and place in pan.
3. In a sauce pan, 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 chilies. Do not bring to a boil (you don’t want to curdle the sour cream).
5. Pour over enchiladas and top with the cheddar cheese.
6. Bake 25 min and then under high broil for 3 min to brown the cheese.

Note: This sauce doesn’t freeze very well, so if you’re making this ahead of time. Just make and freeze the Enchiladas. Make the sauce the day of service.
