Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups salsa verde
  • 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 6 fajita-size flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • Cilantro and diced avocado to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine salsa verde and Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce.
  • In a greased 12 x 8 inch baking dish, spread 1/2 cup of the sauce to cover the bottom of the dish.
  • Assemble the enchiladas by filling each tortilla with 1/4 cup of shredded chicken and about 2 tablespoons of cheese. Place the enchiladas in the baking dish, side by side.
  • Top with remaining sauce, distributing evenly over the enchiladas, then top with remaining cheese, distributing evenly as well.
  • Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, until cheese is fully melted and lightly browned.
  • Garnish with cilantro and diced avocado, if desired.
