Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 8 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Stir in 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and milk until smooth. Season with a pinch of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour 1/4 cup of the white sauce into the dish and spread evenly.
  4. Warm tortillas until pliable. Spoon 1/4 to 1/3 cup of chicken filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Pour remaining white sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
