Protein Packed Enchiladas

Last night I actually made dinner.. I know it's crazy, but they actually turned out really well. I am a vegetarian so I will tell you the way I made mine as well as the way I made Justin's. Let me start off with a list of ingredients that you are going to need:
- Three Large carrots
-Two onions (any kind is fine, I used red)
- Two cans of diced tomatoes (NO SALT ADDED)
-Salsa
-Chicken (optional)
-Lentils
-Lime
-Cumin
-Chili Powder
-Tortillas (We made 10 with this recipe)
- Fat Free Greek Yogurt
-Fat Free Cheddar Cheese
-Olive oil

You want to start out by putting some olive oil into a frying pan and letting that heat up. Once this is heated up place the chopped onions and grated carrots into the pan until they are soft.
Once these are soft, place into a pot and add the tomatoes (drained) and lentils. Also squeeze the lime into the mix and add chili powder to taste.

Once this is done you are ready to begin putting them together. Place the tortillas into a glass pyrex dish.  Fill them to however much you want, and then fold them over and flip them upside down. This is also where you can add chicken if you are not a vegetarian. Add the chicken first at then the mixture. Make sure that the mixture from the pot is not too watery before you place it into the tortillas or they will get soggy.



After that you want to mix the greek yogurt and cheese into a small dish. Mix together and then spread over top of the tortillas. You can add cheese (and low sodium salsa) on top as well.


Bake at 400 for about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. They are really good and full of protein :) Hope that you enjoy.
Peace, Love, and Health :)
