  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (30g / 1 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (15g / 0.5 oz)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (475ml / 16 fl oz)
  • 1 cup milk (235ml / 8 fl oz)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (115g / 4 oz)
  • 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced (adjust to taste - 15-30g / 0.5-1 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (15ml / 0.5 fl oz)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.5g / 0.05 oz)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (1.5g / 0.05 oz)
  • 12 corn tortillas (6-inch)
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or Mexican blend) (200g / 7 oz)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss vegetables with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan. Whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in vegetable broth and milk, bringing to a simmer and thickening. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, salt, and garlic powder.
  3. Lightly warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable and prevent cracking.
  4. Spread a thin layer of chipotle sauce in the baking dish. Fill each tortilla with roasted vegetables and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in the prepared dish.
  5. Pour remaining chipotle sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Let cool slightly before garnishing with cilantro, green onions, avocado, and sour cream (if desired). Serve immediately.
