Ingredients

Scale
  • 8–10 medium flour tortillas
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced green chiles
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the white sauce by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth and golden.
