Smothered Green Chile Chicken Burritos

chicken

salsa (, your favorite kind)

cumin

oregano leaves (, crushed)

cheddar cheese

green onions (, chopped)

flour

olive oil (,

Tablespoons butter

Tablespoons all-purpose flour

garlic (, minced)

chicken broth

salt and black pepper (, to taste)

green chilies

sour cream

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Make the filling: Mix chicken, salsa, cumin, oregano, cheese and onions. Place a heaping 1/2 cup or so of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.

Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll up tightly like a burrito. Place seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil or spray with non stick cooking spray.

Bake at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Make the sauce: Meanwhile, prepare sauce by melting butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted and bubbling, whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in chicken broth. Add cumin, oregano, and a dash of salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in green chilies, cheese and sour cream. Tastes and add more seasonings if needed.

Broil: Remove burritos from oven and turn the oven to HIGH broil. Ladle a spoonful of sauce over each burrito and top with a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese has melted.

Serve with Authentic Mexican Rice!
