Prepare the Chicken Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well until the chicken is evenly coated with the spices, and mix in 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.
Craft the White Sauce
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup of milk until smooth and creamy. Season with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
Assemble the Enchiladas
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while lightly greasing a baking dish. Spread a layer of the creamy white sauce evenly at the bottom of the dish.
Fill and Roll
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling onto each tortilla, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Top and Bake
- Once all the enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour the remaining white sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle with additional shredded cheese.
Bake to Perfection
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Rest and Serve
- Once baked, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
