Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, refried beans, taco seasoning, shredded chicken, half a cup of shredded cheese, and green chiles. Mix until creamy.
  3. Warm tortillas for about 15 seconds in the microwave. Scoop one-third cup of filling onto each tortilla and roll tightly, placing seam-side down in the baking dish.
  4. Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispness.
  6. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or hot sauce.
