Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas

9 corn tortillas
1 15-oz. can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp. packed fresh cilantro
½ small chipotle chile in adobo, plus 1 tsp. sauce from the can
½ tsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more for the dish
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (skin removed; about 8 ounces)
½ cup sour cream
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
Diced avocado and sliced scallions, for topping

Preheat the broiler. Tear 1 tortilla into pieces and transfer to a blender. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, cilantro, chipotle and adobo, and cumin; puree until smooth.

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pureed sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.

Meanwhile, coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil. Mix the chicken, sour cream, 1/2 cup of each cheese and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Warm the remaining 8 tortillas in the microwave as the label directs. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla and roll up to enclose. Arrange side by side in the prepared baking dish and brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.


Broil the enchiladas until lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with the tomato sauce and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Broil until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with avocado and scallions.
