After a bunch of leftover Quick Chicken Fajitas from the other night, I revamped them into my Leftover Chicken Fajita Enchiladas.
My husband loved these, except he said the tortillas were soggy. So, next time I make these I think I will bake the enchiladas before I smother them in the sauce to kinda toast them up a bit, making them acceptable to the sauce.
Remember, a recipe is a guideline so if you don’t like the peppers and onions in your enchiladas just leave them out.
Ingredients:
- softshell flour
- tortillas shredded
- Monterey Jack Cheese, or whatever you have on hand
- 3 T. Butter
- 3 T. Flour
- 2 c. Chicken Broth
- 1 C. Sour Cream
- 1 ( 4 oz.) can diced green chiles
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 9×13 pan
- Mix your leftover chicken fajita mixture with the shredded cheese.
- Roll up the chicken cheese mixture in the tortillas and place tightly in the pan.
- Place in oven until tortillas are lightly browned and the top is a crispy.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt the butter.
- Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute or until well incorporated.
- Add the broth and whisk until smooth, bringing it to a boil until thick and bubbly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream and green chiles- DO NOT boil after you add the sour cream or you may have a curdles sauce.
- Pour over the enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese.
- Place in oven until cheese is melted. You can put under broiler for a few minutes to brown cheese also.
