  • Total Time: 30 min
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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, high fiber recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, refried beans, and taco seasoning until combined.
  3. Stir the shredded chicken and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese into the bean mixture.
  4. Lay out the tortillas and scoop approximately 1/3 cup (80g) of the mixture into the center of each.
  5. Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Pour the red enchilada sauce evenly over the rolls and sprinkle with the remaining cup of cheese.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • For a spicier kick, add chopped jalapeños to the filling.
  • Ensure your tortillas are room temperature before rolling to prevent cracking.
