Instructions

- Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly to make a smooth roux.
- Slowly pour in chicken broth while whisking, then add garlic powder and taco seasoning. Let it cook and thicken for 3-5 minutes while you watch it get creamy.
- Take the sauce off heat and stir in softened cream cheese until it’s all smooth and mixed in.
- In a big bowl, mix shredded chicken, sour cream, and 1 cup of that shredded cheese together. This gonna be the filling.
- Spread a bit of the cream sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish so the enchiladas won’t stick and get extra saucy.

- Pour the leftover cream sauce all over the rolls and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.
- Pop it in the oven for 20-25 minutes till it’s all bubbly and melty.
