How ‘Bout some Cheesy Goodness…

There is something very comforting about warm, gooey cheese. Cooked until golden brown on top to add that little bit of a crunch. That is why I really like enchiladas. I make a more traditional beef version too but I think this chicken version is my favorite. I make it with half a brick of cream cheese in the sauce. Sometimes I throw the rest of that brick into the chicken mixture to give it an extra creamy texture. Depending on my mood I will sometimes add a can of green chiles, mixing half in with the chicken and the other half into the sauce. A can of Rotel tomatoes works out nice too. There a so many ways of customizing this recipe so have fun with it and let us know what you think.

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken

• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

• 4 ounces softened cream cheese

• 8 flour tortillas

• 3 tablespoons butter

• 3 tablespoons flour

• 2 cups chicken broth

• 1 cup sour cream

• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese

• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

• cayenne pepper to taste

• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl combine chicken, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, taco seasoning, cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste. You can also add Adobo seasoning if you wish.
• Divided chicken mixture into the 8 flour tortillas and roll them up, placing them seam side down in the baking dish.
• In a medium pan melt the butter and whisk in the flour letting it cook for a minute to cook off the raw flour flavor. Whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Continue cooking over medium heat until thickened. Do not allow sauce to boil.
• Stir sour cream into the sauce. If you like you can add a can of green chiles. Pour sauce over the flour tortillas filled with chicken.
• Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and the cheddar cheese. Sprinkle a little taco seasoning and some cayenne pepper (if desired) on top for a little added color.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. You can broil on high to get the cheese golden brown and bubbling. Serve with your favorite sides…cilantro lime rice is awesome with this dish.
