How to Make Arriba Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup chicken broth and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a sauce consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of your favorite salsa, 1 (4-ounce) can of diced green chilies (drained), 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  6. Heat a skillet and lightly brown 12 corn tortillas for 10 seconds per side. Alternatively, soften each tortilla by dipping it quickly into the hot sauce mixture (about 5 seconds per side).
  7. Place approximately 1/2 cup cooked chicken (shredded or diced) and 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese into each tortilla.
  8. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-down in the prepared baking pan.
  9. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup sour cream into the remaining sauce.
  10. Pour the sour cream sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  11. Top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.
