Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheese, diced onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Mix together, taste, and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Microwave the tortillas on a plate for 1 minute, flipping them halfway through until all of them are warm and pliable.
- Assemble the enchiladas by filling each tortilla evenly with the shredded chicken mixture. Roll the tortillas tightly to close and place in a 9x13-inch baking dish seam side down. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk together until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and whisk to combine. Bring to a low simmer, whisking constantly.
- Add the sour cream, green chiles, 1 cup of shredded cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and ground cumin. Stir together until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is bubbling. Remove from heat.
- Pour the sauce over the enchiladas and top with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until bubbly. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.
