White Chicken Enchiladas

This is possibly my favorite thing I've made in India so far.


White Chicken Enchiladas. We love our Mexican food, even in India!

Here's a link to the original recipe I found on Pinterest. But here's how I make it India style:

White Chicken Enchiladas

3 Chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (I throw mine in the crock pot for several hours with some water and chicken broth cubes, then shred)
1 TBS Fajita seasoning, or any kind of taco type seasoning.
2 cups shredded cheese
3 TBS butter
3 TBS flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup Dahi
6-10 chopped up jalapeno slices (the original recipe calls for a can of diced green chiles, but they don't have that here. I did find some jarred jalapenos though, like they put on nachos, and I've found that chopping a few of those up works great!)

8-10 tortillas - you may be able to find them in an import section, but they'll be pricey. So I make my own. Here's the recipe I use for tortillas.

Mix the chicken with the Fajita seasoning. Mix chicken with 1 cup of cheese. Spoon some chicken/cheese mixture onto each tortilla and roll up, placing in a greased baking pan.

In a sauce pan, melt the butter on medium/low heat. Stir in the flour and cook 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and whisk. Heat on medium till thick and bubbly. Stir in the Dahi and chopped jalapenos and cook till heated through, but do not bring to a boil. Pour over the tortillas and top with remaining cheese.

Bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees F, 170 degrees C.

Seriously, I love these things. In fact looking at these pictures makes me wish we were having them for dinner tonight. This is probably another recipe I'll transport with me back to the U.S. someday...so delicious!
