How to Make

  • FOR THE ENCHILADA SAUCE

  • Step 1: In a saucepan; heat the oil and stir in flour and chili powder; cook for 1 minute.

  • Step 2: Add remaining ingredient in the sauce list; bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes; then set aside.

  • FOR THE FILLING

  • Step 3: Cook chicken; in a medium bowl mix the chicken, green onions, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, chiles, and parsley; stir in 1/2 cup Enchilada Sauce, salt and pepper and set aside.

  • Step 4: Heat a tad of oil in a skillet to fry tortillas, one at a time, till soft--about 10 seconds; drain on paper towels.

  • Step 5: Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and spread a small amount of sauce in the bottom.

  • Step 6: Spread about 2 heaping tablespoons of chicken mixture on each tortilla and roll up; place seam side down, side-by-side in pan and pour remaining sauce over the top.

  • Step 7: Top with remaining cheeses and bake at 350 degrees till bubbly--about 15-20 minutes; I garnish mine with guacamole, sour cream and extra green onions.
