Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 8 pieces Flour tortillas (medium-sized)
- 1.5 cups Sour cream
- 3 cups Shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (4 oz) Diced green chilies
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Chili powder
- 1 cup Corn kernels (optional, for extra texture)
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tbsp Sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheese, softened cream cheese, diced green chilies, and corn (if using). Mix well and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux.
Slowly add in the chicken broth while whisking, ensuring no lumps form. Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sour cream, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. Mix until the sauce is smooth and set aside.
Place a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto one end. Roll it tightly and place it seam-side down in the greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Pour the sour cream sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of shredded cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm with a side of rice, beans, or a crisp salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
