Ingredients
Scale
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp canned green chilis, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- Salt to taste
- 1.5 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
For the Filling:
- 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
- 8 oz shredded chicken, cooked and cooled
- 3/4 cup frozen corn
For Assembly:
- 14 small corn tortillas, warmed
- 3.5 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, finely chopped canned green chilis, ground cumin, salt, all-purpose flour, chili powder, black pepper, skim milk, chicken broth, and unsalted butter. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a creamy sauce base.
- Mix the filling: In a separate bowl, combine the thinly sliced green onions, shredded cooked chicken, and frozen corn. Toss well to evenly distribute the ingredients for a flavorful mix.
- Warm tortillas and assemble tacos: Heat the corn tortillas until warm and pliable, either on a skillet or microwave. Spoon the chicken and corn filling evenly onto each tortilla. Drizzle the prepared white chili sauce generously over the filling, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each taco.
Notes
- For best flavor, use freshly cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken shredded finely.
- Warm tortillas properly to prevent cracking when folding the tacos.
- You can adjust the spiciness by adding more or fewer green chilis and chili powder according to your taste.
- If preferred, substitute mozzarella with pepper jack cheese for a spicier kick.
- The sauce can be prepared ahead of time and gently reheated before assembling the tacos.
