Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare all your ingredients, keeping sour cream, milk, and chicken broth at room temperature.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour for about 1 minute until it forms a smooth paste.
  3. Gradually pour in 1 cup of skim milk and 1 cup of chicken broth, whisking constantly until smooth and thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Combine 2 cups of shredded chicken, 1 cup of frozen corn, and green onions in a bowl. Pour the sauce over and stir to coat.
  5. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds per side.
  6. Spoon 3 tablespoons of filling into each tortilla, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, and fold it in half. Place seam-side up on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy.
  8. Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes before serving warm with sides.
