Ingredients
Enchiladas
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups (226 g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, divided
- 8 large flour tortillas
White Sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (240 g) chicken broth
- 4 ounces (½ package) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (115 g) sour cream
- 1 can (4-ounce) green chiles
Garnish
- cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, lime juice, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and 1 cup shredded cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Working one tortilla at a time, place about ½ cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Wrap tightly and place the filled tortillas seam-side down in the greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 more minute. Add the flour, salt, and pepper, whisking together until the mixture turns golden brown (about 2 minutes).
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth. Add the cream cheese and sour cream. Continue to cook, stirring often until the mixture is smooth.
- Add green chiles. Stir to combine.
- Pour the white sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cup of cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly. (Broil the enchiladas for an extra 2-3 minutes if you prefer the cheese to be golden brown.)
- Garnish the enchiladas with chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
