Number Of Ingredients 16

ENCHILADA SAUCE:
1 tablespoon butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup chicken stock or vegetable stock
2 teaspoons cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup mild or medium salsa verde
1/2 cup fat free sour cream
ENCHILADAS:
4 cups cooked chicken breasts, chopped or shredded
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
3 avocados, peeled and chopped
8 flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. In medium sauce pan, saute garlic in butter for about 1 minute on medium or high heat. Stir in flour let it cook for about 2 more minutes. Next stir in the chicken broth, cumin, salt, pepper and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream, salsa verde and cilantro until smooth, or at least as smooth as you can get. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Add about 1/2 cup sauce to the bottom of the pan and spread out until bottom of the baking dish is evenly coated. Lay out a tortilla and add chicken, shredded cheese, and avocado to the end of the tortilla and roll. Then place the rolled tortilla seam-side down and repeat until the pan is full. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Cover with 1 cup of cheese and bake for about 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbling.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Make sure your avocados are ripe and creamy for the best flavor and texture in your enchiladas.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients like cilantro, tomatoes, onions, and garlic will give your enchiladas the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough, so be careful not to cook it for too long.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A good quality melting cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack will help hold your enchiladas together and give them a delicious flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Enchiladas are best served immediately after they are made, while they are still hot and gooey.

Conclusion:

Avocado chicken enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
