  5. Stir flour into butter and whisk for 1 minute over heat.
  6. Add broth and whisk together. Cook over heat until it’s thick and bubbles up
  7. Take off heat and add in sour cream and chilies. (be careful it’s not too hot or the sour cream will curdle)
  8. Pour mixture over enchiladas and add remaining cheese to top.
  9. Bake in oven for 20-23 minutes then you will want to broil for 3 minutes to brown the cheese.
  10. Enjoy!
