Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a saucepan, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 4 minutes until softened.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup chopped roasted green chiles, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until sauce thickens.
  3. Step 3: Remove sauce from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Lightly warm 10 corn tortillas to make them pliable. Dip each tortilla into the green chile sauce, fill with 1/4 cup shredded chicken, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  5. Step 5: Pour remaining sauce evenly over the filled tortillas. Top with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Step 6: Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
