Preparing the Ingredients
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large cast iron skillet with olive oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced green chilies, chopped cilantro, and chopped green onions. Set aside.
Making the Green Chile Sauce
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form.
- Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.
Assembling the Enchiladas
- Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet until soft and pliable.
- Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared cast iron skillet.
- Pour the green chile sauce over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the enchiladas, covering them completely.
Baking the Enchiladas
- Place the cast iron skillet in the preheated oven and bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
