  2. Heat the oil and stir in the flour and chili powder; cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add remaining ingredients; bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes; then set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl make the filling mixing the chicken, green onions, 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of the Monterey Jack, sour cream, chiles, and cilantro. Stir in 1/2 cup of Enchilada sauce; season with salt and pepper and set aside.

  7. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
  8. Spread a small amount of the sauce in the bottom of the pan.
