Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
  • 8 low-carb tortillas (almond flour or coconut flour-based)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce (homemade or store-bought, watch for added sugars)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

    • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a perfect melt and slight crisp on the cheese topping.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they turn translucent and fragrant—about 4-5 minutes.
  • Stir in cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper, letting the spices toast slightly in the oil.
  • Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, mixing thoroughly to coat every piece with the spiced onion mixture. Remove from heat.
  • Pour about half of the enchilada sauce into a baking dish, spreading it evenly to act as a base.
  • Warm the low-carb tortillas briefly in the microwave (about 15 seconds) to make them pliable and less prone to cracking.
  • Spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling onto each tortilla, top with a little shredded cheese, and roll them tightly. Place each rolled tortilla seam side down in the baking dish.
  • Once all tortillas are in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, making sure the cheese is evenly distributed to get that golden crust.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the cheese.
  • Let the enchiladas rest for about 5 minutes before serving to help the filling settle and make it easier to cut and serve.

    • Notes

    Delicious low-carb chicken enchiladas with smoky spices, melty cheeses, and soft low-carb tortillas that deliver indulgence without the guilt, perfect for a quick and comforting weeknight meal.
