- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, 1 cup each of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, diced jalapeños, and half of the crumbled bacon. Mix until creamy.
- Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan, whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour for about 1-2 minutes. Gradually add 2 cups of milk, whisking until thickened.
- Stir in ½ cup each of remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, then add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the rolled enchiladas, top with remaining cheese and reserved bacon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with cilantro, tomatoes, and green onions before serving.
