Ingredients:

1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup butter
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Green chilies (to taste)
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
4 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
8 10-inch flour tortillas

Instructions:

Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, butter, chicken broth, evaporated milk, chopped onion, salt, pepper, and green chilies. Mix until well combined to create a creamy sauce.
Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, mix the shredded chicken and 2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Add enough of the prepared sauce to moisten the mixture, ensuring it’s creamy and well-coated.
Assemble the Enchiladas: Spoon a portion of the chicken and cheese mixture down the center of each flour tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam side down in a 13″x 9″ glass baking dish. Continue until all tortillas are filled and the dish is full.
Top and Bake: Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the assembled enchiladas, ensuring they are well-covered. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top. 🧀
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.
Serve: Once baked, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
