8 oz sour cream
1/4 c. flour
2Tbs Margarine (melted)
1 can Chicken broth
1 can green chiles
3 chicken breasts cooked and cubed or shredded
1 c. shredded cheese (I like Monterey Jack but Colby Jack or cheddar works too.)
8 flour tortillas
Make a paste with melted margarine and flour in a saucepan over med/high heat
Add broth and wisk to form a thin gravy, simmer
Add sour cream and mix well, simmer
Add green chiles
MEANWHILE
Place 2 Tbs chicken and 2 Tbs cheese on flour tortilla and roll.
Place in a baking pan, top with sauce and bake at 350 for 25-30 min
This is my sister's recipe and I love it. You can add the chiles to the meat instead of in the sauce if you prefer.
*my sis also adds some chopped black olives to the meat. I'm not an olive fan so I omit them.

Ingrediants:
Boil chicken breasts and shredd. Season w/a lil garlic,salt,pepper
Heat 2 Lg cans of cream of chicken soup.
Add green chiles 1-2 small cans to the soup mixture
Place corn tortillas in a casserole dish
layer the above ingrediants: tortillas,sauce,chicken, repeat. On final layer put sauce,cheese medley, and serve with salso or pico de gallo whatever you wish.
Remember that the tortillas will absorb the sauce
cook in 350 oven about 1/2 hour or until heated thru
It is the green chiles (not jalepenos) that give it the unique flavor without the heat.

12 corn tortillas
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 cup of salsa (Mild prepared salsa or make your own using cooked or canned tomatoes, roasted green chiles, onions, cilantro, oil and vinegar. Do not use salsa made with fresh, uncooked tomatoes for this dish.)
3 Tbsp of tomato paste
1 cup water
1 cup of canned crushed tomatoes (preferably fire roasted)
Olive oil
1 lb of mild cheddar or longhorn or any mild yellow cheese, grated
A handful of cilantro
1 cup of sour cream
Half a head of iceberg lettuce
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2 In a large fry pan at high heat add 3 Tbsp of grapeseed oil. Add a tortilla to the pan. Cook for 2-3 seconds, lift up the tortilla with a spatula, add another tortilla underneath. Cook for 2-3 seconds, lift again, both tortillas, and add another tortilla underneath. Repeat the process with all the tortillas, adding a little more oil if needed. This way you can brown and soften the tortillas without using a lot of fat. You do this process to develop the flavor of the tortillas. As the tortillas brown a little, remove from the pan one by one to rest on a paper towel, which absorbs any excess fat.
2 Sauté up the chopped onion and garlic, then turn off the heat. Add 1 cup of salsa. Dissolve 3 Tbsp of tomato paste into 1 cup of water, add to pan. Add 1 cup of crushed fire roasted canned tomatoes. Taste. If the sauce tastes too vinegary, add a teaspoon of sugar.
3 Put some olive oil on the bottom of a large casserole pan. Take a tortilla, cover 2/3 of it lightly with the shredded cheese, then roll up the tortilla and place it in the casserole pan. Continue until all tortillas are filled and rolled. Add sauce to the top of the tortillas in the the casserole pan. Make sure all are covered with the sauce. If not, add a little water. Cover the whole thing with the rest of the grated cheese. Put the casserole in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts.
4 Garnish with cilantro and sour cream. Serve with sliced iceberg lettuce that has been dressed only with vinegar and salt. See Perfect Guacamole for a great guacamole avocado side dish.
Serves 4.
Sour cream recipe:
1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can green chili peppers
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 cup sour cream

A rich white sour cream sauce for chicken enchilada recipes. Lets make this easy! If we use 12 oz carton of sour cream then use 12 ozs of chicken broth and etc. 1 heaping tablespoon of butter, pinch of cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder or 1 diced garlic clove. Salt to taste, 1/2 teaspoon should do it.
Bring to a boil. Slowly add 4 or 5 tablespoons of flour dissolved in cold water, using whip or cooking spoon, till desired consistency. When using flour or corn starch, I will always mix more than I use, easier to throw away some, than to have to stop and mix more.
*4 Chicken breasts or your choice.
*1 tablespoon of Salt
*1/2 teaspoon of Cumin
*1 tablespoon of Chili powder
*2 Garlic cloves or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
*1 medium Onion sliced & quartered
*2 medium bell pepper's sliced & quartered
*3 tablespoons of Cooking oil your choice
*14 oz Canned whole tomatoes or chopped
Instructions for chicken enchiladas.
4 chicken breasts, 1 tablespoon of salt cover with water, bring to boil, loosely cover. Cook over medium low heat for 1 hour, drain saving broth. Set chicken aside to cool.
When cooled, take and cut in strips, 1/4 by 1 inch would be great. In skillet add 3 tablespoons of oil, sauté` 1 medium onion, 2 medium bell peppers, sliced, then quarter, 2 cloves of garlic. No fresh garlic? That's ok, we can use garlic powder later in blender.
Cooking over low heat till lightly sautéed. Add chicken cooking 3 or 4 more minutes. In blender add 12 oz can tomatoes, 2 cups of chicken stock from our chicken.
2 tablespoons of chili powder, if we didn't have garlic cloves then add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and 1 teaspoon of salt or to taste
