Why You Will Love Our Easy Weeknight Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
I have tons of sympathy for most of you still buried under a ton of winter coats and frigid temps. But, here in Miami, we're pretty lucky and spending our time outside sunning and fun-ing.
None of that digging out from snow drifts going on here. While you can't wait to get inside and warm up, we're rushing out to enjoy the Spring-like temps. (sorry, not sorry)
This was inspired by my Pizza Roll Casserole recipe on this site, and pairs well with this amazing Cornbread recipe.

Instructions for making this Easy Weeknight Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350˚.
In bowl combine the Chicken, 2 cups Cheese, Salsa, Onions, Chili powder, Garlic powder, Salt and Pepper.
Place 3-4 Tbsp. of the Chicken mixture onto a Tortilla, I use a ¼ cup measuring cup loosely packed. Tightly roll the Tortilla spreading the mixture across the entire length of the roll. Place in a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and mixture until you run out of either ingredients or room in the pan.
In a small sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour over the butter and whisk it constantly for 2 minutes.
Then begin to slowly add in the broth to the pan, making sure to constantly stir it so that it does not clump. Once this mixture begins to thicken, you are going to add in the sour cream and bring it to a simmer.
Then slowly pour the mixture over the tortillas in the baking dish, making sure that all of the sides and tops are evenly covered and evenly coated.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of your chicken enchiladas and bake at 350˚ until bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.
Serve this dish while still hot and garnish with a little bit of fresh cilantro for the best flavor!
