1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 can diced green chiles* see note – (4 ounce)
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup – (10.75 ounce)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast meat
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese – divided
6 flour tortillas – (12 inch)
1/4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter/margarine and saute the green onion over medium heat until tender (about 3 to 4 minutes). Add the garlic powder, then stir in the chili peppers, soup and sour cream. Mix well. Reserve 3/4 of this sauce and set aside. To the remaining 1/4 of the sauce in the saucepan, add the chicken and 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese and stir together.
Fill each flour tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll up. Place seam-side-down in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a small bowl combine the reserved 3/4 of the sauce with the milk. Spoon this mixture over the rolled tortillas and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until cheese is bubbly
NOTES : Can use Rotel mild tomatoes w/chilis added, drain them and use half the can, or more to taste. Then top with remaining or additional tomatoes/chilis.
