Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 can Diced green chiles
• 2 cups Cooked ham
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 10 Tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to create a roux.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sour cream and green chiles. Set the sauce aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ham, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 6

Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave (about 20-30 seconds) to make them pliable.

Step 7

Spoon a generous amount of the ham and cheese mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 8

Pour the sour cream sauce over the rolled enchiladas, spreading it out evenly to coat them completely.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.

Step 10

Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
