Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 small chopped sweet onion
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 2 cups of chopped cooked chicken – I just used a rotisserie chicken
- 1 (10 oz.) can of diced tomatoes with green chili peppers, drained
- 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 2&1/2 cups of chicken broth
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1&1/2 cups of shredded cheese – Mexican blend
- 12 (6 in.) tortillas
- 1 tomato, and 1 bell pepper chopped and mixed together to make a relish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter and cook the onion and pepper until tender – about 5 minutes
- Grab yourself a medium sized bowl, and add the chicken, drained tomatoes with chili peppers, and the cooked onion and pepper
- Add the rest of the butter to the skillet
- Mix in the flour, coriander and salt
- Add the chicken broth, mix well
- Cook on medium/high heat until the sauce thickens up – this should only take a few minutes
- Turn the heat off, add the sour cream and ONLY 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese
- Now, you have your enchilada sour cream sauce
- Stir 1/2 cup of the sour cream sauce into the chicken mixture
- Grab a 9×13 baking dish and pour some of the sauce into the bottom, just so it covers it
- Take your tortillas, and scoop 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into each one
- Roll them up nice and tight and place seam side down into the baking dish with sauce on the bottom
- Once you have them all filled and in the pan, add the rest of the sauce to the top of the enchiladas
- Spread the remaining cheese over the enchiladas
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes
- Serve with the tomato and pepper rellish
