Ingredients
One per line — e.g. “2 cups flour, sifted”
4 tablespoons butter 5 tablespoons all purpose flour 2 15-ounce cans chicken broth 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin 1 tablespoon chili powder 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1/3 cup sour cream 2–3 shakes Tabasco (or similar hot sauce), Optional kosher salt, to taste 4 ounces (1/2 block) cream cheese (low fat is fine) 1 7-oz can mild green chilis (use the entire can even if you are halving it) 14–16 ounces cooked, shredded chicken (about 3 1/2 cups) 4 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese, divided 8–10 medium flour or corn tortillas (I use flour)
Method
One step per line
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch pan with nonstick spray and set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Wen butter is melted and bubbly, add flour and stir to combine. Continue cooking, whisking continuously until mixture is light golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. SLOWLY add chicken broth, whisking constantly, until smooth.*note, if this part ends up a disaster and your sauce looks lumpy and clumpy- it’s not ruined! Just pop the entire sauce in a blender to smooth it out, then back in your pan and continue 🙂 Whisk in garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, chili powder, and pepper. Bring sauce to a simmer and stir until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in sour cream and hot sauce. Add salt to taste and set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, soften cream cheese in microwave until it’s easily stirred. Add green chilis and 1/2 cup of reserved sauce. Stir to combine and add chicken and 2 cups cheese. Tip: If needed, to make the tortillas easier to roll, place between damp paper towels and microwave until warm (20-30 seconds). Pour about 1 cup sauce into the bottom of prepared pan and spread out evenly. Place about 1/3-1/2 cup chicken mixture on each tortilla and roll tightly. Place tortillas snugly in pan. Pour remaining sauce on top and top with remaining 2 cups cheese. Bake 30-35 minutes, until hot and bubbly throughout and cheese is melted.
