Chicken Enchilada's

Ingredients

10 soft tortilla shells
2 cups shreded chicken (I used about 4 cups to make it meatier)
2 cups monteray jack shreded cheese
2 cups chicken broth
3 Tbsp flour ( used 4 Tbsp to thicken more)
3 Tbsp butter
1 4oz can diced green chili's
1 cup sour cream

Pre-heat oven to 350degrees.  Spray 13X9 pan with cooking spray.  Mix chicken and 1 cup cheese and roll up in tortilla's and place in baking dish.

On med/low heat melt butter and add flour.  Wisk well and add chicken broth.  Bring to a boil until thick and bubbly (this is where I added the extra Tbsp of flour). Remove from heat add green chili's and sour cream.  Wisk well.  DO NOT BOIL sour cream unless you want it chucky.  Just enough heat to get it creamy.
Pour over enchilada's and top with 1 cup cheese.  Bake for 22 min then broil for 3 min to brown cheese.

And there you have it.  Chicken Enchilada's.

Both my kids loved it and my hubby.  They all thought it was better than our local mexian place we usually go to.  Well next time we want mexican I might just make this again.  A LOT CHEAPER.

I figured it up.  It cost me $13.10 to make this for a family of 4.  So it comes out to $3.28 a person.  Can't beat that. It normailly cost of $32 to eat at the mexican resturant. Just saved $18.90.
