8 servings

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 0.33333334326744 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 0.33333334326744 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 8 (10 inch) whole wheat flour tortillas
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar taco sauce
  • 0.75 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook chicken in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of breasts should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Drain excess fat. Cube chicken and return to skillet. Add onion, sour cream, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, and black pepper. Heat until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Stir in salt, tomato sauce, water, chili powder, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, garlic, and black beans.
  • Roll even amounts of chicken mixture into tortillas. Arrange in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with taco sauce and 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
