How to Make Chicken And Sour Cream Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked shredded chicken, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chopped onion for 5 minutes, until softened.
  4. Add the sautéed onions to the chicken mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto one end of each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
  6. In a saucepan, whisk together 8 ounces of diced green chiles, 1 cup of milk, and 1/4 cup of flour over medium heat.
  7. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese until melted and smooth. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  8. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
  9. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream over the sauce.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
  11. Top with remaining green chiles (optional) and serve immediately.
