directions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in 350 oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until soft.
  • For the Sauce:

  • In a saucepan cook onion, garlic, coriander and pepper in butter or margarine until the onion is tender. Stir flour into sour cream; add to onion mixture. Stir in broth and chiles all at once. Cook and whisk until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the monterey cheese.
  • For the Filling:

  • Stir 1/2 cup of the sauce into the cooked chicken. Pour another 1/2 cup of the sauce into the bottom of a lightly greased 9 x 13" baking dish. Place about 1/4 cup of filling in the center of each tortilla and place seam side down in the baking dish. Cover with remaining sauce.
  • Bake covered for about 35 minutes or until bubbly. Remove foil and add the second 1/2 cup of cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. If desired sprinkle on black olives, tomatoes and scallions. Let stand 10 minutes. Makes 12 enchiladas (6 servings).
  • Notes: Wrapping them individually can be a bit of a hassle. You can instead spread half the tortillas on top of the sauce in the bottom of the pan, spread the filling over those, then spread the remaining tortillas over the top, and pour the sauce over the whole thing. If you elect this method, no need to warm the tortillas before using.

  1. Around Thanksgiving I swap out the chicken for turkey. You should try it. Here's a picture of some chicken ones I made tonight.

  2. I am so glad I came across this recipe. I had made it for years and it got rave reviews. In a move, I lost the recipe and I was so sad that I couldn't make. No other recipe turned out quite like it.
     
  3. This recipe I've been looking for! Right from my lost old Betty Crocker book I received at least 30 years ago as a gift. My favorite recipe of green chili chicken enchiladas and finally found. Thanks for posting!
     
  4. I have made this Recipe many times in the past and it ALWAYS disappears. However the page for this Recipe was torn out of my Old Betty Crocker Recipe book and they don't have this in the new book so Thank Goodness I found it online because that is what we are having for dinner tonight :) Thanks for Posting this Recipe :)
     
  5. I made this recipe for the first time when I was a teenager - my Mom had that Betty Crocker cookbook. It is one of my favorites. I remember it using flour tortillas - but then I may just have used them instead because no one liked corn. It's so tasty. Thanks for posting - so I could make them again!!!!!

  1. I added more cumin to get the right flavor and more garlic as needed for taste. I think more cheese on top is also better. Such a great recipe! Thanks Betty Crocker for this one!
