Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º and prepare a 9×13 baking dish.
Pick the meat from the rotisserie chicken until you have around 1 pound of meat. Add to a large bowl, add taco seasoning, and 2 cups of cheese – stir to combine.
Heat a large skillet on medium. Melt better. Stir in flour and whisk until it’s combined. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes.
Slowly add the broth, continuing to whisk. Add whipped cottage cheese and keep stirring. Lastly, add 1 cup of cheese and 1 can of green chiles, then stir until it’s all melted and combined.
Scoop about 1/3 cup of the chicken and cheese mixture into each tortilla. Then roll then closed and place them in the baking dish. Pour the sauce over top and sprinkle on remaining cup of cheese.
Bake 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and starting to turn golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For whipped cottage cheese, we’ve found that a food processor works best. It’s the most effective way to get a smooth, silky texture. Buzz the processor for a few seconds, scrape down the sides, and repeat until no more chunks remain.
