Instructions

Prepare the sauce by melting butter and mixing in flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Stir in sour cream, green chilies, and spices.
Combine shredded chicken with half the cheese and some of the sauce.
Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas and top with leftover cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
