Instructions

Green Chile Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in green chile and flour and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Slowly add in chicken broth, whisking constantly, to remove any clumps. Allow to simmer 20 additional minutes, then salt and pepper to taste.

Blue Corn Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an oven-proof casserole dish.

  2. Place an ounce of shredded chicken into a line at the center of the blue corn tortilla, then roll, placing the seam side down onto the casserole dish.
  3. Repeat for remaining tortillas. Spoon green chile enchilada sauce over the tortillas, then top with cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until melted and browned,
