To make enchiladas, begin by preparing the cheese sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter, add flour, and whisk for about a minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk.
Reduce the heat to low and add the sour cream. Keep stirring until the sour cream is incorporated. Remove from the heat, and set it aside while preparing the chicken filling.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together shredded chicken with green onions, sweetcorn, ¼ of the creamy white sauce, and grated cheese along with salt, and pepper.
Soften the tortillas before filling them to prevent them from cracking. Take a tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling onto the center of the tortilla.
Roll it up tightly and place it seam side down in your casserole dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling until the baking dish is filled with enchiladas.
Pour the white sauce over the enchiladas, making sure to cover them. Sprinkle the 100 grams of shredded mozzarella, place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes
Once the enchiladas are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro to add a burst of freshness and color to the dish.
The vibrant green cilantro will beautifully complement the creamy white sauce and the enticing flavors of the chicken filling. Click on 👇"learn more" for the full recipe.
