      • Sliced green onions<\/li>\n
      • Diced tomatoes<\/li>\n
      • Jalape\u00f1o slices<\/li>\n
      • Extra sour cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Instructions<\/h2>\n
          \n
        1. Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Lightly grease a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 2 cups<\/strong> of the Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.<\/li>\n
        3. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.<\/li>\n
        4. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1\u20132 minutes until smooth.<\/li>\n
        5. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.<\/li>\n
        6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for 2\u20133 minutes. Stir in the sour cream, garlic powder, black pepper, and green chiles (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy. Do not let the sauce boil after adding the sour cream.<\/li>\n
        7. Pour the white sauce evenly over the enchiladas.<\/li>\n
        8. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup<\/strong> of Monterey Jack cheese over the top.<\/li>\n
        9. Bake for 25\u201330 minutes<\/strong>, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.<\/li>\n
        10. For a golden cheesy topping, broil for 2\u20133 minutes<\/strong>, watching carefully to prevent burning.<\/li>\n
        11. Let the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes<\/strong> before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
