Green Chile Enchiladas

Green Chile Enchiladas

Ingredients:

Oven: 350

Sauce:
1/4 C butter
1/4 C flour
1 can chicken broth
1/2 C sour cream
1/2 C green chile taco sauce
1 can diced green chiles --OR-- BEST: 1-2 diced hatch green chiles

1 pound or so of chicken, boiled and shredded
4 C cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
Package of 10 taco sized flour tortillas. I wish I loved corn tortillas in this, but I don't. So bring on the calories. Nobody's trying to eat healthy with enchiladas anyway.

To make the sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan and add flour to make a roux. Allow to brown for a moment or two, stirring so it doesn't burn. Add chicken broth to basically make gravy, stirring well until fully combined. Add in green sauce, sour cream, and chiles. I always add a little extra sour cream and taco sauce, as I like my enchiladas good and saucy.

Grease a 9x13 pan and spread a little sauce all over the bottom of the pan. Begin rolling tortillas with chicken and cheese, and topping with about 2 TBSP sauce each. When the pan is full, cover those suckers in sauce. Top with plenty of cheese and bake for 30 minutes or until cheese just starts to brown.
