Cream Cheese Enchiladas Recipe
Ingredients:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups chicken broth
1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lime juice
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced olives, sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
In a bowl, combine half of the cream cheese, chicken, 1 cup of cheese, lime juice, and chili powder (if using). Season to taste.
Fill tortillas with 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture, roll, and place seam side down in the dish.
In a saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour for 2-3 minutes. Season, add chicken broth, green chiles, and the remaining cream cheese. Cook until thickened.
Pour the green chile sauce over enchiladas and top with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Optionally, broil for a lightly browned top. Allow it to rest before serving. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
