Ingredients

1 pound chicken cooked and shredded (453.592 grams) (see note)
14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes drained (411 grams)
4 ounces canned diced green chiles (113 grams)
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1/4 cup unsalted butter (56.5 grams)
1/4 cup all purpose flour (30 grams)
14.5 ounces chicken broth (411 grams)
1 cup sour cream (227 grams)
10 10 inch flour tortillas
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese shredded (113 grams)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the chicken, drained diced tomatoes, chiles, taco seasoning, and 3/4 cup of the cheese.
1 pound chicken, 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes, 4 ounces canned diced green chiles, 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in flour to make a roux, stirring and cooking the mixture until bubbly. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream.
1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/4 cup all purpose flour, 14.5 ounces chicken broth, 1 cup sour cream
Pour a small amount - just enough to coat the bottom - into the 9 by 13 inch pan.
Add 1/2 a cup of the chicken mixture to each tortilla and roll tightly. Place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
10 10 inch flour tortillas
When all 10 tortillas have been added to the baking dish, top with the remaining sauce and then the remaining cheese.
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese
Place in the oven, uncovered, and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted, the sauce has begun to boil near the edges, and the visible tortilla shells are just beginning to brown.

Notes

Please note that the cook time for this recipe does not include cooking the chicken. I would suggest buying pre cooked shredded chicken, using a rotisserie chicken, or using frozen shredded chicken.

Additionally, the nutritional information listed can change dramatically depending on what type of tortilla you use. The tortilla used in this calculation was 210 calories per tortilla.
