Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Melt butter in a stock pot.

  3. Add diced vegetables and saute until tender.

  4. Sprinkle flour over the butter/veggie mix and whisk together, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Add spices to taste, and cook for another minute or so.

  6. Whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

  7. When the sauce is thickened, remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes, then whisk in the sour cream.

  8. Taste the sauce and readjust your seasonings, if you need to. (I find that I often need to add more salt after I add the sour cream.).

  9. Soften tortillas in your usual way. (I fry them in a bit of oil in my cast iron skillet.)

  10. While the sauce is cooking, use a food processor and chop the chicken finely.

  11. Mix chicken, beans, and 1 cup of cheese in a bowl.

  12. Roll the filling in the softened tortillas and place them in a lightly greased pan. (You will probably have tortillas left over. My kids like them spread with a little butter and folded in quarters for snacks.).

  13. Pour the sauce over top, sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

  14. Bake for 45 minutes, or until bubbly and a little browned on the top.
