Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Butter
  • ½ cup All Purpose Flour
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth
  • 8 ounces Sour Cream
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese
  • ½ cup Green Taco Sauce
  • 12 8-inch Flour Tortillas
  • 4 cups Cooked, Shredded Chicken (about 2 large breasts)
  • 1 10-ounce package Frozen Chopped Spinach (thawed & squeezed dry)
  • 8 ounces Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 large Shallot (about ¾ cup, finely chopped)
  • 1 pound Monterey Jack Cheese (16 ounces, grated)

Equipment

  • Grater
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Gradually add the chicken broth and cook, stirring until thick, which will take about 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk in the cream cheese until melted. Stir in the sour cream and green taco sauce. Let cool.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425℉. Spray a 13×9 inch pyrex pan with nonstick spray.
  4. Lay out a tortilla on your work surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of Monterey Jack cheese down the middle, then add ¼ cup of chicken, a sprinkle of chopped shallots, a tablespoon of spinach, and a few slices of mushrooms. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sauce on top of the mixture.
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-down in the prepared dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  6. Spoon the remaining sauce over the rolled enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned and bubbly.

Notes

  • Tip 1: It’s perfectly okay to use light sour cream, low fat cream cheese, and low carb flour tortillas in this recipe to reduce calorie content.
  • Tip 2: This recipe freezes well. Divide the enchiladas into 2 pans, prepare through step 3, cover, and freeze. Let thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake, as directed.
