1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, mix the shredded rotisserie chicken with 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
4. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until smooth.
5. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and continue stirring until the sauce thickens.
6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream and diced green chiles until smooth and creamy.
7. Spoon the chicken filling evenly into the flour tortillas.
8. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
9. Pour the white sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
10. Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese and the mozzarella cheese over the top.
11. Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
12. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes if you want a more golden top.
13. Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
Notes
Warm the tortillas for a few seconds before filling so they roll without tearing.
Keep the sauce on low heat after adding sour cream so it stays smooth and creamy.
Let the enchiladas rest before serving so the filling and sauce settle nicely.
