WHITE CHEESE SAUCE FOR ENCHILADAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
• Mix the chicken together with 1 cup of the cheese.
• Distribute the chicken and cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll up and place seam side down in the prepared pan.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour; cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Add the chicken broth, whisking until smooth. Continue cooking over medium heat until sauce is thick and bubbly.
• Stir in the sour cream and diced green chiles. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Pour the sauce in an even layer over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
• Sprinkle with cilantro just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and poblano; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add cumin and cayenne; cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Whisk flour and 1/4 cup broth in a small bowl; set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 3/4 cups broth to the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour mixture and simmer, whisking often, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in sour cream.
• Coat a 7-by-11-inch (2-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. Combine chicken, 1/2 cup of the white sauce and 1/4 cup cheese in a medium bowl. Spoon 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place, seam-side down, in the prepared baking dish. Pour the remaining white sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
• Bake until the cheese is lightly browned and the edges are bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
