Description

Discover how to make delicious low carb white chicken enchiladas with this easy recipe. Perfect for a healthy and satisfying dinner option!


Ingredients

  • 2 cups (480 ml) cooked chicken
  • 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) shredded beef Or vegetable cheese
  • 5 ounces (140 g) cream cheese
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) butter
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) taco seasoning
  • 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
  • 4 ounces (113 g) canned diced green chillies
  • 10 low carb flour tortillas


Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken using your preferred method, such as boiling, baking, or using a rotisserie chicken.
  2. Once the chicken is ready, set the oven to preheat at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with grease.
  3. Place the cooked chicken into a bowl and, if necessary, use a fork to shred it. Add 3/4 cup of the shredded beef or vegetable cheese, garlic powder, and cream cheese, then stir until everything is well-blended.
  4. In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add almond flour and taco seasoning, cooking for one minute. Pour in the beef broth, whisking until the mixture is smooth. Mix in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and warm over medium heat until it becomes thick and bubbly.
  5. Incorporate the sour cream and diced green chilies into the sauce, ensuring it does not reach a boil, and then remove it from the heat.
  6. Fill each low-carb tortilla with the chicken and cheese blend, roll them up, and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Drizzle the sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  8. Bake for 22 minutes, then switch to a high broil for an additional 3 minutes to brown the cheese on top.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian twist, swap shredded beef for more veggies or cheese.
  • Add heat with spicy taco seasoning or diced jalapeños in the sauce.
  • Make it creamier by mixing sour cream into the chicken filling before rolling.
