Green Chile Chicken & Onion Enchiladas
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sauce:
In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to make a roux.
Gradually stir in chicken broth, green chile salsa, garlic powder, and bring to a simmer.
Cook until slightly thickened (5–7 min). Set aside.
2. Make the Filling:
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, HALF of the diced onions, green chiles, 1 cup cheese, cumin, salt, and pepper.
3. Soften the Tortillas:
Lightly heat tortillas on a skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
4. Assemble:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a greased baking dish.
Fill each tortilla with chicken filling, roll, and place seam-side down.
Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas.
Top with extra cheese and the remaining diced onions.
5. Bake:
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
✅ Pro Tips:
Add sour cream to the filling for a creamier texture.
Hatch green chiles give this dish authentic flavor if you can find them!
