How to make it
- Bake chicken breast , cool , and shred
- Sautè garlic, onion, green pepper in EVVO or AO and butter until slightly tender.
- Stir in flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, mix until smooth and cook until thickened.
- Add chilies and salt.
- Add 1 1/2 cups cheese and stir until smooth.
- Reduce heat
- Add sour cream and stir until smooth.
- If tortillas are not pliable, slightly warm.
- Place a large scoop of chicken, cheese, and sauce in the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down in a oiled large baking dish, I use a 8 x 8 casserole dish which takes 5 well stuffed tortillas perfectly . Though the recipe would probably do 8 if you had to push it. But they also heat up better later if they are fatter.
- Pour remaining sauce over all the rolled up tortillas and sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Add a few shakes of paprika. Bake , covered about 25-30 minutes, Uncover and broil for 2 minutes just to add a nice brown tint to the enchiladas.
- Garnish with salsa verde and cilantro.
- Grab a Cerveza and enjoy!
