Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F(175°C). Prepare a 9x13" baking dish by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk. Cook for 3 minutes. Whisk in the broth until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Transfer the roux to a large mixing bowl. Add in the sour cream and salsa. Stir to combine. Reserve 2/3 cup of this mixture to spread over the top of the enchiladas.
  • Add the chicken and half the shredded cheese to the mixing bowl with the remaining sauce. Add the salt and stir to combine.
  • Heat the flour tortillas slightly until pliable. Divide the filling among the 8 tortillas. Fold in the edges and roll each tortilla tightly. Arrange them side-by-side in the baking dish.
  • Spread the reserved sauce over the top of the tortillas. Top with remaining shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 25 minutes.

Notes

  • There is no need to cover the baking dish with foil as it cooks.
  • Use a mild to spicy salsa, depending on your preferences.
