Ingredients

  • 8 6 in Flour tortillas taco size, not enchilada size
  • 3 cups Shredded chicken or rotisserie chicken!
  • 2 cups Shredded mozzarella, cheedar, or other cheese
  • 4 oz. Cream cheese softened
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 3 Tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 3 Tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 4 oz. can Diced green chiles

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, onion powder, smoked paprika, and HALF the shredded cheese. Mix well.
  • Lay a tortilla flat, spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture into the center, and roll it up. Place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Repeat for all tortillas.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and chili powder to form a roux.
  • Gradually pour in chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the enchiladas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, then broil for 2–3 minutes to get that golden, bubbly cheese.
  • Serve up your enchilladas with a salad, cilantro-lime rice, roasted bveggies,or whatever you like!
