Prep Time:30 minutes
Cook Time:25 minutes
Total Time:55 minutes

Equipment

  • 13 x 9 baking dish
  • Aluminum foil
  • saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken (can use a store-bought rotisserie chicken)
  • 10 flour tortillas taco size
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can pinto beans
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 7 ounce can diced green chiles
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Prep the baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray 9"x 13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Make the filling. Mix together cooked, shredded chicken, beans, and cream cheese in a medium-sized saucepan. Heat on medium-low until cream cheese melts and the mixture is well combined. Place chicken mixture into each of the flour tortillas. Roll up and place them in the prepared baking dish.
  • Make the sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Sprinkle the flour over melted butter and whisk to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is golden. Whisk in the broth, adding 1 cup at a time. Cook until the mixture has thickened, remove from heat, and let the sauce cool for 3-5 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and chilies until the sauce is smooth and sour cream is completely dissolved.
  • Add the sauce and bake. Pour the sauce over the rolled-up enchiladas and cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil, add the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top and bake for 10 minutes more.

Notes

If you don't like beans, just leave them out and double the chicken.
You can use black or white beans if you prefer.
