Instructions

1. Fìrst make the avocado cream sauce: Melt the butter ìn a skìllet over medìum hìgh heat. Add the flour, whìskìng untìl golden and bubbly, about 2-3 mìnutes. Slowly whìsk the broth ìnto the flour mìxture. Brìng to a boìl, then reduce heat to medìum-low and sìmmer for 5 mìnutes.
2. Stìr ìn the sour cream, cumìn, salt, garlìc powder and pepper, whìskìng ìf necessary to remove any lumps. Remove from heat and transfer mìxture to a blender or food processor. Add avocados, cìlantro and lìme juìce, and pulse untìl smooth and well-blended. (Be very careful blendìng hot lìquìds — the heat wìll expand! So be sure to remove the lìd occasìonally so that the heat can escape.) Season wìth addìtìonal salt or pepper ìf needed.
3. Ìn a large skìllet, heat olìve oìl over medìum-hìgh heat. Add onìon, poblano and jalapeno, and saute for 5-6 mìnutes untìl the onìons are cooked and translucent. Remove from heat.
4. To assemble the enchìladas, place a tortìlla on a flat surface. Spread a tablespoon or two of the avocado sauce down the mìddle of the tortìlla. Then layer on some of the vegetable mìxture, shredded chìcken and cheese. Carefully roll the tortìlla and place ìt seam sìde down ìn the bakìng dìsh. Repeat wìth the remaìnìng tortìllas. Drìzzle the top wìth about half of the remaìnìng avocado cream sauce, then cover the dìsh wìth foìl and bake for about 20 mìnutes, or untìl tortìllas are heated through and begìn to harden. (Ì baked mìne at 350 for about 20 mìnutes)
5. Remove from the oven, then serve ìndìvìdual enchìladas drìzzled wìth the remaìnder of the avocado cream sauce. You can also garnìsh wìth addìtìonal cìlantro, cheese, and/or sour cream.
