01
Step 1
Start by heating some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper, and cook them until the onion starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the drained chicken breast and break it up with a fork. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and cook everything together until the veggies are nice and tender, around 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2
While that’s going, combine the condensed soup, diced tomatoes, Greek yogurt, milk, hot pepper sauce, lime juice, oregano, chili powder, and cumin in a saucepan. Heat it over medium and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 3
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab your tortillas and spoon the chicken mixture onto them, then roll them up and place them seam-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese.

Step 4
Pop the dish in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and golden, about 30 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in!

How to serve
Serve with a side of fresh green salad or Mexican rice to balance the richness. Add some sliced avocado or a dollop of sour cream on top for extra creaminess. A sprinkle of chopped cilantro and lime wedges can brighten the flavors nicely.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to maintain the sauce’s creaminess. You can also freeze the enchiladas before baking for up to 2 months; just thaw overnight in the fridge before cooking.
