Make ready Dairy
Make ready 2 packages cream cheese (8oz each). I let mine sit out a few hours to get room temperature
Take 1 lb Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded. Any Cheese may be used if you prefer something different
Make ready 8 oz Small container of sour cream. I used only about half the container
Prepare 1 cup milk
Take other
Take 1 packages white corn tortillas 20pk
Get 1 salt, pepper, cumin, fajita seasoning, garlic powder. Each is to your own taste & preference. I used the seasonings for the chicken & in the sauce
Take 3 cup chicken broth
Spread a small amount of white cheese sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish. Evenly divide the filling among the tortillas, and roll into firm cylinders. Place into prepared baking dish and cover with remaining sauce. White Chicken Enchiladas are ALL the rage, and for good reason.
Instructions to make Cara's White Chicken Enchiladas:
Slow cooker: Add chicken broth, onions, garlic, seasonings & chicken. Cover & cook on low 6-8 hrs or high 4 hours.
Shred cooked chicken & reserve broth. Remove onions if desired. Place chicken in a skillet with 1/2 cup of broth to keep moisture. Simmer on low.
In a different skillet, add remaining broth, 2 pkgs of cream cheese, 1 can rotel, 1/2 container of sour cream, 1 cup milk & 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Season as desired & keep on medium heat. Stir frequently to help cheeses melt.
Once the sauce is completely liquid, you can test the flavor to see if more seasonings need to be added. Lower heat to simmer (low)
Next, spoon about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of sauce over the shredded chicken. Stir & coat well. This will help keep it together when spooning in tortillas.
Lightly coat the bottom of a 9×13 pan with sauce to prevent sticking & burning during baking.
Dip one side of tortilla in sauce & lay that side down in baking dish. The dry side is where you will spoon the chicken. Roll up, seam side down. Repeat until you run out of space or chicken, or tortillas!
Remaining sauce & chicken(if any) now gets poured over the enchiladas. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350° for 20 min, covered. Uncover another 10min. Let sit 10-15min before eating. This prevents the sauce from being too runny when serving. Enjoy!
Creamy comfort food, yet not too rich. These are a winner in all categories and will satisfy even the pickiest eater. (Yes even with green chilies and sour cream!) Not your everyday Enchiladas… These are not your typical. Made with corn tortillas instead of flour ones, this is a creamy, delicious, decadent dinner! Roll up in tortillas and place in pan. Add broth and whisk until smooth.
