Baja Blintzes
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 cup milk or half and half
1 teaspoon onion, grated
2 tablespoons canned diced green chiles
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Monterey jack, shredded
3 hard cooked eggs, sliced
1/2 cup cooked ham, chopped
6 flour tortillas (8″)
Preheat oven to 375 F. In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Stir in stock and milk. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until thickened; remove from heat. Stir in onion, chilies, salt and cheese. Arrange 1/2 a sliced egg and 1 rounded tablespoon ham on each tortilla. Spoon about 2 tablespoon cheese sauce over ham. Fold both sides of each tortilla over filling; then fold top and bottom to slightly overlap in center. Place filled tortillas, folded-side down, in a shallow baking pan. Cover with foil. Bake in preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through. Serve warm. Makes 6 servings.
