Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces large flour tortillas
- 2 cups white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate, finely chopped or grated
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of white cheddar cheese, and the grated dark chocolate. Mix until well incorporated.
Lay out a tortilla and spoon 3-4 tablespoons of the cheese and chocolate filling into the center. Roll the tortilla up tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the remaining white cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, cocoa powder, cinnamon powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Stir until the cheeses melt and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Pour the cheese and chocolate sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, ensuring each one is fully coated.
Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese over the top for extra cheesiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese on top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve the enchiladas warm, and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey, and cheesy flavors in every bite!
