How to Make Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas With Yogurt Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, shred the cooked chicken and mix it with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of chopped green chilies, and 1/4 cup of chopped onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-down in the baking dish.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, ensuring they are well coated.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt.
  9. Serve the enchiladas immediately, topped with a generous dollop of the creamy yogurt sauce.
