Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 8 pieces small flour tortillas
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups green enchilada sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 ounces diced green chiles (canned)
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend, diced green chiles, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of the tortilla. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sour cream, and green enchilada sauce until smooth. Pour the sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas with Yogurt Sauce!
