Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Shredded Chicken pre-cooked, I use deli made
  • 2 ½ Cups Shredded Colby Jack Cheese
  • 1 Cup Salsa pick your favorite brand
  • 4 pieces Green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 9-11 whole Taco size Flour Tortillas
  • 3 teaspoon Butter
  • 3 tablespoon Flour
  • 15 oz. Can Chicken Broth or Stock
  • 1 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1 tbs Optional Cilantro for Garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚.
  • In large mixing bowl combine the Chicken, 2 cups Cheese, Salsa, Onions, Chili powder, Garlic powder, Salt and Pepper.
  • Place 3-4 Tbsp. of the Chicken mixture onto a Tortilla, I use a ¼ cup measuring cup loosely packed.
  • Tightly roll the Tortilla making sure the mixture covers the entire length of the roll.
  • Place in a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and mixture until you run out of either ingredients or room in the pan.
  • In a small sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the butter and whisk constantly for 2 minutes.
  • Slowly add the Broth to the pan stirring constantly.
  • Once thickened add the Sour cream and bring to a simmer. Pour the mixture over the Tortillas in the baking dish ensuring the sides and tops are covered and coated.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and bake at 350˚ until bubbly, 20 minutes.
  • Serve hot.
  • Optional garnish with a bit of Cilantro.
