Low Carb Enchiladas! So good they made me forget I was doing keto. (8.6 carbs per serving)
Here is the recipe:
Sauce:
3 TBSP almond flour 3 TBSP olive oil 1 1/2 TBSP of chili powder 2 tsp of cumin 1/2 tsp of garlic powder 1/4 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp of ground oregano A pinch of nutmeg 1 tsp of salt 1/4 tsp of pepper 2 TBSP of tomato paste 2 cups of chicken broth
Enchiladas: 5 Low carb tortillas Sharp cheddar cheese 2lb Chicken breast Chili powder Paprika Salt Garlic powder Onion powder Cumin Ground oregano Pepper Olive oil 1 cup of chicken broth 1 jalapeño Optional: Parsley for garnish
Chicken:
- Take defrosted (or unfrozen) chicken and sprinkle both sides with: chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and ground oregano.
- I used a Dutch oven but you can any pan with a lid. Heat up the pan, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and brown chicken on each side (about 3 to 4 min per side)
- Then add 1 cup of chicken broth and cook on low heat for 30 minutes.
- Shred chicken and set aside. I added the jalapeño diced really small to the chicken, and I always add some of the sauce to the shredded chicken so it’s not dry.
Sauce:
- Add olive oil and almond flour to a pan and stir until combined. Add in all the seasoning.
- Then add in half the chicken broth and the tomato paste. Stir till fully combined.
- Then mix in the last cup of chicken broth and cook for about 10 minutes.
Assembling the enchiladas:
- Take a low carb tortilla on a place and microwave for 20 seconds. So it’s warm and folds better
- Brush both sides of the tortilla with enchilada sauce.
- Add as much chicken and cheese as possible, then fold.
- Add to a baking dish that has been sprayed.
- Repeat steps 1 through 4 until all chicken is used.
- Pour the rest of the sauce over top. Add cheese and bake at 375 for 30 minutes. I then broiled it the last bit until the cheese was nice and bubbly. Then garnishes with paprika.
Tip: this can be made in advance. Make chicken and sauce early in the week so all you have to do it assembly the day of.
