3

Heat the butter and the additional oil in the pot. Add the onions and cook until tender.
4

Add the garlic and all the chiles into the pot. Stir the ingredients together and cook for 30-45 seconds. Don’t burn your garlic!
5

Add the flour into the pot small amounts at a time. Stir the ingredients together and cook for about 4-5 minutes to cook out the raw flour
6

Add the chicken stock, a little (1/4 cup) at a time into the pot and slowly stir the ingredients together until smooth (no lumps of flour remaining).
7

Add the salsa verde, chili garlic paste, chipotle tabasco, oregano, brown sugar and cumin into the pot.
Consider more tabasco & chili garlic paste if you like hotter flavor.
Allow the mixture to come back up to a simmer and then add the chicken and white beans to the pot. Simmer for ~5 minutes then gently stir in the sour cream.

Serve with shredded cheese, tortilla chips, and sour cream to taste.
