How To Make sour cream chicken enchiladas

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Step 2
    Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, stirring several times. Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute while stirring.
  • Step 3
    Sprinkle the onion mixture with the flour and cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Slowly add the chicken broth while stirring. Cook until thickened.
  • Step 4
    Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sour cream and fire-roasted green chiles.
  • Step 5
    In a medium bowl combine the sour cream, green onions, cooked chicken, 1/4 cup of each cheese, fire-roasted green chiles, and 3 tablespoons of the sour cream enchilada sauce.
  • Step 6
    Spread about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of chicken mixture down the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortillas up and place them in a greased 9×13-inch dish.
  • Step 7
    Drizzle the remaining sauce over the enchiladas.
  • Step 8
    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Step 9
    Remove the foil, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese melts. Top with chopped cilantro and serve promptly.
