Description

Delicious High Protein Chicken Enchiladas that are easy to make in just 30 minutes, packed with flavor and nutrition, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)
  • 10 oz. can red enchilada sauce
  • 8 flour tortillas (8-inch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, refried beans, and taco seasoning until well combined. Fold in the shredded chicken and half a cup of the shredded cheese.
  3. Lay out the tortillas and scoop an even amount of the chicken mixture (about 1/3 cup or 80g) into each one. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place them in the baking dish.
  4. Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Top with chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

Serve these enchiladas with sliced avocado or a fresh salad. They can also be reheated beautifully. Consider using rotisserie chicken for a quick option.
