In a sauce pan, heat butter (amount your choice—flour should be equal). This makes a roux, or a thickening base for a sauce. Pronounced rue. Cook it gently til slightly brown and until it doesn’t taste of raw flour.
\nThen you add: sufficient chicken broth (Swansons sells a good one with a good shelf life.)
\nA mini-can of mild diced chilis (drained.)
\nEnough sour cream to get it to the consistency you want. Cook a bit, stir.<\/p>\n
Form enchiladas by putting cooked (I don’t care how they get cooked, but cooked) chicken bits in a stripe down the middle of a flour tortilla, add cheese of your choice, but mild and white is traditional, then roll, place in pan, and pour white sauce over it all.<\/p>\n
Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.<\/p>\n
My source didn’t give amounts, but I’d say if you aim for 2 cups of sauce, enough to handle 4 chicken enchiladas, you want about a third of a cup of roux, of which the flour is the main solid, a half a cup of chicken broth, the chilis, and about a cup of sour cream.<\/p>\n
I’m going to try this. I’ve done it without the roux or broth and it’s pretty good, but the rest of the recipe should make it pro. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
