Ingredients:
- 3 cups (450g) shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup (115g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup (60g) diced green chiles
- 1/2 tsp (3g) ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp (16g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480ml) chicken broth
- 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream
- 1 cup (115g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 medium flour tortillas
- 1 cup (115g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- fresh cilantro for garnish
- sliced scallions for garnish
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese, green chiles, cumin, and salt. Stir until the cheese is evenly distributed among the chicken fibers.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute until it smells slightly nutty.
- Slowly stream in chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens and looks glossy.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the cream cheese and sour cream until the mixture is completely smooth and velvety.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Warm tortillas for 20 seconds in the microwave to make them pliable. Fill each tortilla with a generous scoop of chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
- Pour the creamy white sauce evenly over the top, ensuring the edges are covered. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the cheese is golden-brown. Garnish with cilantro and scallions.
