New Recipe Challenge: Chicken Enchiladas

The Challenge

After last night's success, I thought I'd try another new recipe out on the kids.  This is a recipe that Dave and I have been eating for a while.  I would make it on a night when the kids were someplace else for dinner.  I thought it was time for them to give it a try.

The Recipe

2-3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1/2 cup sauteed onions and peppers
10 flour or corn tortillas (whichever you like)
2 cups shredded cheese (we like colby/jack, but cheddar would be fine)
1 batch of sour cream sauce (recipe below)

• mix 1 cup of the sauce with the chicken and veggies.  Put a spoonful of the chicken mixture into each tortilla and roll.  Place into a pan and pour the remainder of the sauce over the enchiladas.
• Sprinkle cheese over the enchiladas and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
• Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Sour cream sauce:
 4 T. butter
4 T. flour
3 cups chicken broth
1 can diced green chilis
1/2 cup sour cream

•  Melt butter in a medium sauce pan.  Add flour and stir cook for 2 minutes while stirring.
• Add chicken broth and cook until sauce thickens and bubbles.  Add green chilis and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.

 The Results

Well, Tim ate his dinner but I wouldn't say he actually enjoyed it.  He did say he would eat it again, so maybe it will grow on him.
Bekah enthusiastically ate hers after we gave in and added a side of ranch dressing for her to dip it in.  She won't eat chicken without a side of ranch.
