Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese (divided)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • 12 small flour tortillas (or corn tortillas, if preferred)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Sliced green onions
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Salsa, guacamole, or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Begin by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to create a roux for about 2 minutes until bubbly.
  2. Gradually add chicken broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Once thickened, lower the heat and stir in sour cream, diced green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken with half of both cheeses and seasonings until well combined.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll tightly.
  5. Place rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish and pour the creamy sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  6. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
