Ingredients (serves 4):

- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup of cooked corn kernels
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup of chopped onion
- 1/2 cup of chopped red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Tips:

- To make the tortillas more pliable, heat them up in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side before filling them.
- If you want to make this dish vegetarian, you can substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
- You can also add some cooked and shredded chicken to the filling if you want to make it more substantial.

Cooking Process:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, red and green bell peppers, and jalapeno pepper, and cook until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
3. Add the corn kernels and cilantro to the skillet, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another minute or two, until the corn is heated through.
4. In a separate saucepan, whisk together the flour and chicken broth until smooth. Add the heavy cream and sour cream, and whisk until well combined.
5. Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble.
6. Spread a few spoonfuls of the sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
7. Fill each tortilla with a few spoonfuls of the corn and pepper mixture, and roll it up tightly. Place the enchiladas seam-side down in the baking dish.
8. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
9. Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
