    • 🧀 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
    • ½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    • ¼ cup salsa verde
    • 1 (2.5 ounce) can sliced olives, drained and diced
    • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
    • ½ (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers (Optional)

  • Sauce

    • 🧈 ¼ cup butter
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 cups chicken broth
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • ½ cup salsa verde

  • Tortillas and Toppings

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

3

Combine chicken, onion mixture, cheese blend, cream cheese, salsa verde, olives, cilantro, and jalapenos in a large bowl. Mix well.

4

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, then chicken broth. Cook until sauce starts to thicken, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in sour cream and salsa verde and cook until heated through.

5

Spread a spoonful of sauce over the bottoms of two 9x11-inch casserole dishes.

6

Wrap a tortilla in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds. Fill with chicken mixture, roll up, and place seam-side down into a baking dish. Repeat for remaining tortillas, dividing them equally between dishes.

7

Spoon remaining sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheese.

8

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.
