Ingredients

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (300g)
6 small flour tortillas 6-inch
1/2 cup buffalo sauce (120g) I used mild
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120g)
1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese (120g)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (56g) divided
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (56g) divided
1/2 cup corn (70g)
1/3 cup diced red onion (40g)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. ranch seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt

Optional for topping/serving

Thinly sliced green onions
Blue cheese or feta crumbles
Extra buffalo sauce
Plain Greek yogurt or ranch

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, half the cheddar cheese, half the mozzarella cheese, corn, red onion, garlic powder, ranch seasoning and salt. Stir until well combined.
Cut the tortillas in half.
Spread 1/3 of the buffalo chicken mixture in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with half the tortilla halves, then another 1/3 of the chicken mixture. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and finish with the final 1/3 of the chicken mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese over top.
Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are hot and bubbly.
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
To serve, top with green onions and blue cheese or feta crumbles, plus a drizzle of extra buffalo sauce and Greek yogurt or ranch, if desired.

Notes

You can use rotisserie chicken, canned chicken, or any cooked shredded chicken for this recipe.
