How to Make Corn Pop Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter for 1 minute on high. Whisk in flour until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk in heavy cream, then chicken broth.
  4. Microwave uncovered on high for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
  5. While sauce simmers, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion for 5 minutes, until translucent.
  6. Stir in shredded chicken, corn, and minced jalapeños. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Fill each tortilla with about 1/8 of the chicken mixture.
  8. Fold the ends of the tortilla over the filling and roll up tightly. Place seam-down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  9. Pour the cream sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  10. Sprinkle generously with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  11. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and the sauce is heated through.
  12. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra sliced jalapeños (optional).
