3/4 c. onion, chopped

Cook tortillas in oil until soft, drain on paper toweling. Place 2 tablespoons grated cheese and 1 tablespoon diced onion on each tortilla and roll up. Place in baking dish. In saucepan, melt butter; add flour, stir in chicken broth and cook until thickened. Stir in sour cream and peppers. Pour sauce over enchiladas. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.

I use whole jalapenos, remove seeds and dice to control heat.
