Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas (1 at a time) for 5 seconds on each side to soften and make them pliable. Add more oil to pan as needed. Drain between layers of paper towel and keep warm.
- Divide chicken, 10 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese, and onion among the 12 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture begins to boil. Slowly add broth, stirring with a whisk until thickened. Mix in the sour cream and chiles, heating thoroughly but do not boil, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture over the enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and bake for 5 more minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.

CREAMY CHIPOTLE ENCHILADA SAUCE
I was eating dinner a couple weeks ago at a local mexican restaurant and was inspired to come up with a copy cat recipe of their Chipotle Enchilada Sauce. This is my take on the sweet, spicy, and smoky sauce I enjoyed there. You can kick up the fire in this recipe by adding more chipotle chile's to taste. Note ** This sauce can be prepared a day ahead of time and warmed back up on low for 10 minutes before serving or rolling your enchiladas.

Steps:
- Place the red chiles (stems removed), ancho chile (stem removed), tomatoes, garlic and water in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Continue boiling for 15 minutes until the red chiles are soft.
- Place the tomato and chile mixture in the blender with the chipotle chile, the reserved adobo sauce and 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Blend the mixture on high for 5 minutes.
- Strain the mixture and pour it back into your sauce pan (make sure you empty the sauce pan if any cooking liquid is left over and reserve it for later if needed).
- Bring the sauce to a low boil and continue to simmer for 10 minutes. If you like your sauce thin you can now add an additional 1/2 cup of water or cooking liquid.
- Whisk in the chicken bouillon powder and continue to simmer the sauce another 10 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to low and whisk in your sour cream. It is critical at this stage to keep the sauce on low so that the sour cream does not curdle. Cook the sauce on low for an additional 2 minutes just to heat it back up.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes are sweeter and have a more intense flavor than unripe tomatoes. This will result in a more flavorful sauce.
- Roast the tomatoes and garlic: Roasting the tomatoes and garlic intensifies their flavor and gives the sauce a smoky depth of flavor.
- Use a variety of chiles: Different chiles have different heat levels and flavor profiles. Using a variety of chiles will give your sauce a complex and well-rounded flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: Feel free to adjust the ingredients and proportions to suit your own taste. For example, you could add more or less chipotle peppers, depending on how spicy you like your sauce.
Conclusion:
This creamy chipotle enchilada sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for enchiladas, tacos, burritos, and quesadillas.
