Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great!)

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt (to replace sour cream)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

8 small whole wheat tortillas

1 cup enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon taco seasoning (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, half of the Greek yogurt, and half of the shredded cheese. If using, sprinkle in the taco seasoning and mix until everything is well combined.

      Stuff Tortillas: Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave (about 15-20 seconds) to make them pliable. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla, roll it up tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

        Add Sauce and Toppings: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered. Spread the remaining Greek yogurt on top, followed by the remaining cheese.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

            Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped cilantro or avocado slices for added freshness.
