These chicken enchiladas put a little zip into any menu. The rolled tortillas are filled with a hearty mixture of cheese, chicken and green chiles, and then topped with a creamy sauce and more cheese. I sometimes use leftover turkey instead of chicken.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2-1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried coriander
- 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles, divided
- 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. In a large saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in coriander and half the chiles. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, Monterey Jack cheese and remaining chiles.
- Spoon 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto each tortilla; roll up. Place seam side down in an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish. Pour sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, 15-18 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
