What Kind of Tortillas Should I Use?

How To Make the Tasty White Rotisserie Chicken Enchiladas

Step 1: Prep the Filling

Shred the rotisserie chicken and mix it with 1 cup of shredded cheese. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.

Step 2: Make the White Sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and whisk until smooth and golden, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook until thickened, then stir in sour cream, green chilies, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Warm gently but don’t boil.

Step 3: Assemble the Enchiladas

Spoon the chicken and cheese mixture into the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Once all enchiladas are in the pan, pour the white sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly golden on top. Let rest a few minutes before serving.

How to Serve and Store These Enchiladas

This recipe makes about 8 enchiladas, feeding 4 to 6 people comfortably depending on portions. Serve them hot, fresh out of the oven, with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or sliced green onions for a little color and zip. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. They reheat well in the microwave or oven, and the flavor deepens by day two.
