Chicken & Black Bean Enchilada Skillet

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: monterey jack cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still melting well.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: creme fraiche

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Tofu is a plant-based option, while canned chicken is more budget-friendly.

enchilada sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: store-bought salsa

Homemade sauce can reduce sodium and additives.

Slice corn tortillas into thin strips and add to the skillet.

Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet; cook until onions are soft, about 5 minutes.

Prepare the sauce by mixing diced Rotel tomatoes, enchilada sauce, drained and rinsed black beans, cumin, and garlic powder in a bowl.

Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the cooked onions and tortillas; mix well.

Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese into the skillet and let it melt, then add the remaining cheese on top for garnish.

Serve with plain nonfat Greek yogurt, cilantro, and any additional toppings like avocado.
