Description

A satisfying, protein-rich meal featuring tortillas filled with creamy chicken and black beans, topped with melty cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 8 small whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, half of the shredded cheese, black beans, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the mixture down the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  4. Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes; uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Let rest for 5 minutes and garnish with cilantro before serving.

Notes

Serve with a crisp green salad or a side of guacamole for a complete meal. These enchiladas can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
