Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients.
  2. Prepare your ingredients: measure liquids, chop chilis, slice onions, and have shredded chicken ready.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to form a roux, cooking for 1 minute.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of skim milk and 1 cup of chicken broth. Stir in 1 cup of sour cream until smooth.
  5. Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 can of green chilis, and 1-2 teaspoons of chili powder. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, frozen corn, and green onions. Pour the sauce over and stir until evenly coated.
  7. Warm corn tortillas in a skillet for about 30 seconds each.
  8. Fill each tortilla with about 3 tablespoons of the chicken filling, adding shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  9. Place assembled tacos seam-side up on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy.
  10. Allow tacos to cool for a couple of minutes before serving with toppings like avocado, cilantro, or lime.
