Notes
- The shape of your baking dish doesn’t matter too much, but remember that the sauce will be bubbly. So you need a dish that can comfortably hold all the enchiladas once they are topped with sauce and cheese.
- When making the white sauce it’s important to whisk the butter and flour together well and only let it cook for about a minute before adding the chicken broth. If the butter and flour mixture gets dark it will change the flavor of the sauce.
- If your tortillas are tearing or not rolling easily, you can warm them up a bit to make them more flexible. Either cover them with a damp paper towel and put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm them one at a time on a clean large skillet.
- For the chicken you can use store bought rotisserie chicken, or you can use this recipe to cook the chicken breasts.
- Right size baking dish. The shape of your baking dish doesn’t matter too much, but remember that the sauce will be bubbly. So you need a dish that can comfortably hold all the enchiladas once they are topped with sauce and cheese.
