Ingredients

2 1/2 cups shredded chicken breast
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
3/4 canned pinto beans
1 cans (5 oz) diced green chiles
1/3 cup green enchilada sauce
3/4 cup shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese
1/3 cup cilantro
6 8-inch whole wheat tortillas
1 cup shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups green enchilada sauce

Steps

Heat the oven to 375 F and coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking oil.
Mix the chicken, cumin, garlic powder, salt, yogurt, beans, green chiles, one-third cup enchilada sauce, three-quarter cup cheese, and cilantro in a bowl.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the baking dish.
Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll it closed, and place it seam-side down in the dish.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and cover them with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the center reaches 165 F and the cheese melts.
