Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 can Diced green chiles
- 2 cups Cooked ham
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 10 Tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sour cream and green chiles. Set the sauce aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ham, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave (about 20-30 seconds) to make them pliable.
Spoon a generous amount of the ham and cheese mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Pour the sour cream sauce over the rolled enchiladas, spreading it out evenly to coat them completely.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
