1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 pan or any baking dish.

3. In a saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth.

Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbly.

    Delicious!! I used salsa instead of green chilies because I don’t like green chilies. They were really good. For less calories, I used less fat sour cream, carb wise tortillas and less fat cheese (also no cheese on the top). They were still extremely good. Thanks for a new favorite recipe.

      I added onions😊

    This is one of my hubby’s favorites. I make up my own chicken, peppers and onions fajita mix. I add the cheese on top of the mixture and add up the tortilla. I roasted a pablano instead of the can of green chilies. I
