Ingredients

1 cup + 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce *
4 packed cups shredded chicken (1 pound)*
1/2 heaping cup greek yogurt (5 ounces - I used 0% fat)
10 corn tortillas
1 heaping cup shredded cheddar cheese (3 ounces)
salt and pepper, to taste
optional toppings: avocado, green onions, cilantro, greek yogurt/sour cream, hot sauce...

Instructions

Make shredded chicken. If needed, make your shredded chicken. You can also use rotisserie chicken.
Make buffalo sauce. If needed, make homemade buffalo sauce. I suggest making this in advance for a quicker and easier mealtime. You can also use your favorite store-bought kind.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of the buffalo sauce into the bottom of a 13×9 baking dish, spreading out the sauce evenly.
Make your buffalo chicken mixture. In a medium bowl, add your shredded chicken, 1/3 cup buffalo sauce, greek yogurt, and some salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Heat up your tortillas. Take a dishcloth or a few paper towels and dampen them with water. Wrap around the tortillas to fully cover them. Place in the microwave for 30 seconds, flip, and then another 30 seconds until warm. This is important as you don’t want your tortillas to break as you roll them!
Roll enchiladas. Take 1/4 heaping cup of the chicken mixture and place it on one side of your tortilla. Carefully roll, trying to make sure the filling stays inside. Place seam-side down in your baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Pour the remaining sauce over top the tortillas and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and let them bake for a final 5 minutes.
Enjoy! Garnish with toppings and enjoy!

Notes

*to save time, make the buffalo sauce and chicken a couple of days in advance and store them in the fridge until ready to use.

using a store-bought buffalo sauce will change the nutrition of this recipe
