Instructions
- 1Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly, cooking 1 minute until lightly browned.
- 2Whisk in half of the chicken broth until smooth, then add the remaining broth, green chiles, and cumin. Continue cooking over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, 2–3 minutes until the mixture simmers and thickens slightly.
- 3Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the Greek yogurt until fully combined. Set the sauce aside.
- 4Lay out each flour tortilla on a flat work surface and spread 2–3 tablespoons of the white sauce down the center. Layer one-eighth of the crab, Great Northern beans, pepper jack cheese, and avocado in a line down the middle of each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- 5Once all 8 enchiladas are assembled in the dish, spread the remaining white sauce evenly over the top. Divide evenly into 4 airtight containers while warm, or cover the baking dish with foil.
- 6To serve, preheat oven to 350°F and bake the enchiladas uncovered 20–25 minutes until the tortilla edges are golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
- 7Remove from oven and top with the reserved diced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve warm.
