- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Diced green onions
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Spread 0.5 cup of low-fat refried beans evenly across the center of each whole wheat tortilla.

Spoon 0.5 cup of salsa evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas.
Sprinkle 0.5 cup of reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa-coated tortillas.
Microwave the dish on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the enchiladas are heated through.
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave, as it will be hot.
