Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup refried beans (120g)
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (170g)
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 3 cups shredded chicken (280g)
  • 1.5 cups shredded Mexican cheese (168g), divided
Other Ingredients
  • 10 oz. can red enchilada sauce
  • 8 flour tortillas (8-inch)

Method
 

Filling Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, refried beans, Greek yogurt, taco seasoning, and 1 cup of shredded cheese together until well combined.
Sauce Preparation
  1. Spread a little enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Assembling Enchiladas
  1. Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Add some of the filling to the center, roll it tightly, and place it seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Topping and Baking
  1. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

Serve hot, topped with chopped cilantro, jalapeños, or additional Greek yogurt. Great with rice or salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
