Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 10 flour soft taco sized tortillas or corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet dried ranch dressing mix
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup half & half
  • 8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • More buffalo sauce ranch dressing, and sliced scallions for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix the chicken with the buffalo sauce and sour cream. Place about 1/4th cup of the chicken mixture on the bottom 1/3rd of a tortilla.
  • Roll the tortilla around the filling and place it seam-side down into the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas.
  • In a small saucepot or skillet melt the butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour and ranch seasoning mix. Let cook for 2 minutes, whisking occasionally.
  • Slowly stream in the chicken stock while stirring. Slowly stream in the half and half while stirring. Let simmer for 2 minutes or until thickened.
  • Pour the sauce over the enchiladas in the baking dish. Top with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Cover with foil, make sure not to touch the cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted on top and it’s bubbly. 
  • Optional, take the foil off, turn the broiler on high and broil the cheese on top until lightly golden, just a couple of minutes. Watch it the entire time or it may burn!
  • Let cool for at least 5 minutes.
  • Top with more buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and sliced scallions, optional.
