Ingredients (Serves 4):
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup tomatillo salsa
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet to cook the tortillas to prevent them from sticking.
- Shred the chicken using a fork or your hands for a more rustic texture.
- Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor.
Cooking Process:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the tomatillo salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the shredded chicken, onion, cilantro, and sour cream.
5. Dip each tortilla in the sauce, then fill with the chicken mixture and roll up. Place the enchiladas seam-side down in a baking dish.
