Another Week in Mexico.

Yes, it's true, we are back in Mexico this week to honor the Cinco de Mayo holiday. We left Sicily and headed to Vatican City for Katy's 1st Communion which is why the delay in keeping up with the blog. It wasn't for the lack of eating, however.  We managed to stop in France at Bistro Montage on Friday night with Mimi and Zadie and then enjoyed a BBQ Rib dinner on Saturday which was Katy's meal choice, second the the Crab she wanted to have. Then Sunday came along and we were exhausted so we headed over to Mi Mexico for a neighborhood meal.

The goal this week is not to repeat any of the meals we enjoyed in January. I found the first recipe on Pinterest so we gave it a try. 3 out of 5 people in this family gave it a thumbs up. One member tried it but said how gross it was. Guess who? The other small girl didn't even bother as she had shells and cheese for her pre-dinner before dance.

I did fail slightly...it's called "white" chicken enchiladas but I accidentally purchase colby-jack... oops. I also added garlic powder to the sauce to jazz it up. It could use a little more spice in my book. But all in all, a comfy Monday dinner.

Chicken enchiladas with green chili sour cream sauce

*These are seriously so so good*

10 soft taco shells

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

3 Tbsp. butter

3 Tbsp. flour

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup sour cream

1 (4 oz) can diced green chillies

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9x13 pan

2. Mix chicken and 1 cup cheese.  Roll up in tortillas and place in pan.

3. In a sauce pan, melt butter, stir in flour and cook 1 minute.  Add broth and whisk until smooth.  Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbly.  

4. Stir in sour cream and chilies.  Do not bring to boil, you don't want curdled sour cream.

5. Pour over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.

6. Bake 22 min and then under high broil for 3 min to brown the cheese.
