To make these lower carb:
Be sure you use the low carb tortillas – look for the whole wheat ones, then instead of rolling the enchiladas with the filling, line the bottom of the 13×9 pan with 3 torn up, then add the chicken filling, and on top place 3-4 torn up tortillas again. Then pour in the remaining enchilada sauce and top with cheese.
*Want to go #grainfree – crush up grain free tortilla chips made from coconut, casava flour or cauliflower.
Also, be sure you choose a no sugar added enchilada sauce. Our favorite is from Trader Joes.
