Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium pan, heat olive oil over low heat. Add white onion and garlic and sauté until soft, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add chopped green chiles, Navy beans, water, chicken bullion, and cumin. Mix well, cover, and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
- Remove the cover, add shredded chicken, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and the liquid boils down. Set aside.
- In a large nonstick pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped white onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add flour and stir well. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until the sauce becomes smooth.
- Cook over medium heat until the sauce boils and thickens, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the chopped green chiles, jalapeños, and salt to taste.
- Cook for another minute, then remove from heat. Stir in the light sour cream.
- Spread about 1/4 cup of the salsa verde sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Fill each tortilla with 1/3 cup of the chicken and white bean filling.
- Roll the tortillas and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Continue filling and rolling the remaining tortillas.
- Pour the remaining salsa verde sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with shredded Mexican cheese.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20-30 minutes, until the enchiladas are hot and the cheese is melted. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh cilantro or scallions.
