Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 poblano peppers
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 8 ounces pepper jack cheese
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, melt one tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add smashed garlic and chopped poblanos; cook until softened (about 10 minutes).
  2. Stir in two tablespoons of butter, then sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring continuously until it forms a paste (about one minute).
  3. Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring until smooth. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until silky. Simmer and stir in milk until thickened; add chopped cilantro and salt before removing from heat.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat the bottom of a baking dish with sauce. Fill warmed tortillas with shredded chicken, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  5. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas, sprinkle with cheese, and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with lime juice and cilantro garnish.
