Ingredients
  

  • 500 g cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 250 g low -fat cottage cheese
  • 120 g non -fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 200 ml red enchilada sauce
  • 115 g diced green chiles, canned
  • 110 g reduced -fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 12 small low -carb flour tortillas
  • 2 g garlic powder
  • 2 g ground cumin
  • 15 g fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
  • Place cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and process until completely smooth.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, blended cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, diced green chiles, garlic powder, and ground cumin. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Spread 50ml of the enchilada sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable. Distribute the chicken mixture evenly among the 12 tortillas.
  • Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down into the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas and sprinkle evenly with the shredded Mexican cheese blend.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
