We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Season chicken with cumin. Mix with 1/2 cup of Mexican blend shredded cheese and 1/2 cup pepper jack shredded cheese.

  • Step 2: Spray a 9×13 casserole pan with non-stick spray. Roll each tortilla with chicken mixture and place in a pan with the seam side down.

  • Step 3: Melt butter in a pan. Add garlic, whisk 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour. Whisk until smooth for about one minute. Remove from heat and whisk in chicken broth. Place back on heat until thickened and bubbly.

  • Step 4: Let cool for at least 5-10 minutes, then combine with sour cream. (Don’t skip this step, as sour cream may curdle if you don’t let mixture cool.) Stir in green chili salsa as well.

  • Step 5: Pour sauce over enchiladas and top with remaining shredded cheese.

  • Step 6: Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes until bubbly and slightly browned on top. Add chopped green onion before serving.
