Ingredients:
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or mozzarella)
Salt, pepper, and Adobo seasoning to taste
10 flour tortillas (taco-sized)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 can (4 ounces) diced green chiles (do not drain)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (for topping)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Prepare Chicken Mixture:
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken with 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Season with salt, pepper, and Adobo seasoning to taste.
Fill Tortillas:
Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each of the 10 flour tortillas.
Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Make the Sauce:
In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Stir in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, cooking for about 1 minute to form a roux (don’t let it brown).
Add Broth and Sour Cream:
Slowly whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth, ensuring the mixture is smooth.
Stir in 1 cup of sour cream and the 4-ounce can of diced green chiles.
Be careful not to bring the sauce to a boil. Once combined, remove from heat.
Assemble:
Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
Top with 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake:
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
If you prefer a bubbly, golden cheese top, switch on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes.
Serve:
Once baked and the cheese is melted, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

This recipe makes approximately 5 servings, assuming 2 enchiladas per person.
