If there was ever a recipe that I would claim to be THE recipe I am known for, it is this one! It took a couple tries, but once I found the right combo, it quickly became a favorite amongst family, friends, and coworkers! This is the most requested meal of mine and I would end up making anywhere from 6-8 trays every Black Friday for work for 3 years lol! So I hope this recipe brings you as much joy as its brought my family and friends over the years!

Instructions

Step 1

Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place in crockpot and add 2 cups of chicken broth, cook on low 6-8 hours.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350°. Once chicken is cooked through, pull out and place in bowl, shred with two forks. Add 2 cups of Colby jack cheese and mix to combine.

Step 3

Get ready to roll! Take 1/2 cup of chicken/cheese mixture and place on tortilla, roll it up and place it seam side down in a greased 9×13 pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Step 4

In a saucepan, melt the butter. Once melted, add in flour and whisk. Cook for 1 minute while continuing to whisk. Add in remaining 4 cups chicken broth and let thicken for at most 10 minutes, whisking every couple minutes. Take off heat and add in sour cream and chiles, stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour sauce over rolled tortillas (it should smother them!) and top with remaining Colby jack cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, then broil for 3 minutes at 500° to brown. Enjoy!
