Let’s Make some Chicken Enchiladas

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together shredded chicken, chopped poblano chilies, chopped onions, shredded cheese along with salt, pepper and Adobo seasoning. Place chicken mixture into each of the flour tortillas and place the enchiladas into the baking dish.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour and let cook and thicken for 1 minute (don’t let it burn). Add chicken broth and whisk until smooth then stir in sour cream, chopped tomatoes, cheese, chopped poblanos, and chopped onions. Be sure not to let the mixture boil.

Take the sauce off the heat and pour it over the enchiladas and top with remaining shredded cheese. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, turn the broiler on for a minute or two until cheese is slightly browned and bubbly.

Did You Know

Enchiladas originated in Mexico, where the practice of rolling tortillas around other food dates back at least to Aztec times. The people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate corn tortillas folded or rolled around small fish. In the 19th century, as Mexican cuisine was being memorialized, enchiladas were mentioned in the first Mexican cookbook, El cocinero mexicano (“The Mexican Chef”), published in 1831
