Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Gather and measure all your ingredients.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat and whisk in all-purpose flour to form a roux.
  4. Gradually add milk and chicken broth, whisking until smooth. Stir in sour cream, green chilis, cumin, and chili powder and simmer until thickened.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, frozen corn, and green onions, then add the creamy sauce and mix well.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side.
  7. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of filling onto each tortilla, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and fold gently.
  8. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden-brown.
  9. Let the tacos rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
