Step by step

Method

5 steps

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Warm the tortillas one at a time in the oil for about 5 seconds per side, just until flexible, adding a little more oil as needed.

  2. 2

    Mix the shredded chicken, minced onion, and 1 cup of the Monterey Jack. Spoon the filling into each tortilla, roll it snugly, and arrange the rolls seam-side down in the dish.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook 1 minute, then add the broth in a slow stream while whisking. Simmer 3–4 minutes, until the sauce coats a spoon.

  4. 4

    Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream and green chiles. Keep it below a boil so the sauce stays smooth. Pour it over the enchiladas and bake uncovered for 20 minutes, until bubbling at the edges.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle on the remaining cheese and bake 5 minutes more, until melted. Rest for 5 minutes, then top with green onion and cilantro.
