Chicken Enchiladas
Amazing Chicken Enchiladas
Do you like Mexican food? We love it. My husband would choose a Mexican restaurant over any other restaurant. So I wanted to make some Mexican food that we could eat at home. I have made enchiladas with a bechamel sauce but this time I decided to make a tomato base sauce.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
I did not put the onions in this batch, since my stomach doesn't like them. You can change up the cheeses to suit what you like, these make a great combo.
I divided the chicken mixture among 6 flour tortillas, that is all I had on hand. I placed them in the dish with the seam side down.
Next I made the roux.
I added the sour cream and green chilies to the roux and poured it over the tortillas. Added the remaining cheese and baked it at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Yummy!

3. Roll enchiladas and place seam-side down in 9x13" baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
4. Melt butter in a medium saucepan; stir in flour to make a roux; stir and cook until bubbly; gradually whisk in chicken broth then bring to boiling, stirring frequently.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
