Ingredients
  

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup Sour Cream Use room temperature for smoother blending
  • 1 can Canned Green Chilis Substitute with fresh chilis or omit for milder taste
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin Freshly ground is preferred for better flavor
  • 1 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour King Arthur brand is recommended for best results
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder Substitute with paprika for a milder option
  • 1 cup Skim Milk Can swap with whole milk or a non-dairy milk
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth Use homemade or store-bought
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Substitute with olive oil for a dairy-free version

For the Filling

  • 1 bunch Green Onions Can substitute with chives
  • 3 cups Shredded Chicken Use rotisserie chicken for convenience or poach your own
  • 1 cup Frozen Corn Use fresh corn when in season

For Assembly

  • 8 pieces Corn Tortillas Warm before use for easier folding
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Substitute with cheddar or a dairy-free cheese

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.
  • Whisk in the skim milk and chicken broth gradually, followed by the sour cream. Season with cumin, chili powder, and green chilis. Simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Mix shredded chicken, corn, and green onions in a bowl. Pour the creamy sauce over the filling and stir well to combine.
  • Warm corn tortillas in a skillet. Add a spoonful of the filling to each tortilla, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and fold them carefully.
  • Arrange the tacos on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the tortillas are golden brown.
  • Cool slightly before serving. Add toppings like salsa or jalapeños for extra flavor.

Enjoy these tacos with a side of fresh avocado salad for a vibrant touch!
