Low Carb Chicken Enchiladas

Today I am going to share with you a yummy and super easy low carb chicken enchiladas recipe. I love this dish, it is super easy to make and very filling. Great for meal prepping and freezing. I love Mexican food and wanted to find some low carb meal options for one of my old-time favorite meals.

Now with low carb tortillas, you can keep your Mexican dishes in your low carb meal plan! Besides being the best invention of all time, low carb tortillas are very tasty and come in many brands. I usually use the Mission Low Carb Tortillas but HEB and a few other brands are just as good. You can find them at Target, Walmart and your local grocery store. If you have not tried them I highly recommend them, they are great for tacos, pizzas, sandwich wraps and more! Ok on to the recipe, I hope you enjoy it!

Notes

The mixture is enough for 6 to 8 medium or 6 large enchiladas. Pour a small amount of sauce on the bottom of the pan or leave off. Personally, I do not like sauce on the bottom.
You can add in some avocado or guacamole. I put chiles inside and on top but that is optional as well.
