A nutritious twist on traditional enchiladas, packed with lean protein and vibrant vegetables, making them perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup fresh vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, spinach)
  • 8 soft tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or Monterey Jack)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the chopped vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to blend all the flavors.
  3. In a small saucepan, mix the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) with the chicken broth over low heat, stirring until combined.
  4. Spread a small amount of the sauce at the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  5. Take each tortilla and fill it with a generous portion of the chicken mixture; roll them up and arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and lightly golden.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade enchiladas!
