3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
4. Add the poblano, jalapeño, onions, garlic, paprika, remaining olive oil, and juice from 1 lime to food processor or high speed blender. Blend until combined.
5. Next, add the mixture to a bowl and combine with cream cheese, 4 oz of yogurt, cilantro, corn and pinto beans. Mix until combined and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and place in microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until warmed through. Add 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce to bottom of baking dish. Spoon equal amounts into each tortilla, wrap and place seam side down in baking dish. Top with the remaining enchilada sauce and place in oven, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
7. While the enchiladas cook, combine the remaining yogurt and lime juice in a bowl, stir and set aside.
