Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

8-10 6" corn or flour tortillas
4-6 clove minced garlic
3/4 c chopped onion (white or sweet)
2 c fresh chopped cilantro (1 cup for sauce, the other for garnish) can be omitted entirely or substitute fresh parsley if you do not like cilantro
3 Tbsp butter or margarine
3/4 tsp black pepper (more or less to taste)
3-4 Tbsp flour
16 oz sour cream (12oz for sauce)
2 c chicken broth
4 c shredded monterey jack cheese
1-2 4oz can(s) diced jalapenos &/or green chilies
3-4 c coarsely chopped chicken or turkey (great for holiday leftovers)
3-4 stalk(s) sliced green onion (optional for garnish)
slice black olives (optional for garnish)
diced tomato (optional for garnish)

Steps:

1. Wrap tortillas in foil & warm 10-15 min in 350° oven.
2. In a sauce pan, sauté onion & garlic in butter over medium heat until tender & fragrant. Mix in black pepper & 1 cup of the cilantro (or parsley, if using) towards end of sautéing.
3. Add 12oz of the sour cream, flour, chilies & chicken broth. Stir to combine thoroughly until thickened & bubbly. Remove from heat & stir in half (2 cups) of the cheese.
4. In a separate bowl, add chicken or turkey & mix 1 cup (or more to ensure poultry is coated) of the sauce. Place approximately 1/4 cup of filling mixture atop each tortilla; roll up & arrange (seam side down) in a lightly buttered baking dish. Top rolled tortillas with remaining sauce.
5. Bake, covered for 35 minutes in a 350° oven. Remove cover, top with remaining cheese & bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
6. Garnish with optional ingredients & top with remaining sour cream. This goes very well with salsa verde, chunky salsa or red hot sauce.

Tips:

Choose the Right Cut of Chicken: For most recipes, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices. They cook quickly and evenly, and they're versatile enough to be used in a variety of dishes.
Season Your Chicken: Don't forget to season your chicken before cooking! This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish. You can use a simple salt and pepper rub, or you can get more creative with your seasonings.
Cook Your Chicken Properly: The key to cooking chicken is to cook it to the proper internal temperature. For most chicken dishes, this is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your chicken.
Let Your Chicken Rest: Once you've cooked your chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Get Creative with Your Recipes: There are endless possibilities when it comes to chicken recipes. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients. You might just create a new favorite dish!

Conclusion:

Chicken is a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. With the right recipes, you can create flavorful and satisfying meals that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, reach for some chicken!
