  • Author: amir_hassan

  • Yield: 4 servings
  • Diet: High Protein

Description

A filling, family-friendly meal that packs a protein punch and bakes in under an hour, perfect for busy evenings and meal prep.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups Chicken, cooked (shredded or chopped)
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 8 Tortillas, whole wheat
  • 1/2 cup Cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
  • 1/4 cup Milk (to thin the yogurt)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, cumin, and olive oil. Mix until the chicken is evenly seasoned.
  3. Take a tortilla and place a portion of the chicken mixture down the center. Roll the tortilla up and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  4. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until the dish is full.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt and milk together until smooth and pourable.
  6. Pour the yogurt sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is heated through and slightly bubbly.
  8. Let the enchiladas rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt and use a dairy-free cheese alternative. Lower sodium by reducing salt and using low-sodium cheese. Periodically reheat leftovers for best quality.
