What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

What low carb tortillas and cheeses did we use?

I’ve made these twice, with two different types of The task of tortilla balance carbohydrates (referral link) and two different cheese blends. I am better White Tortilla Carbohydrate Balance And the Kirkland 4 Cheese Mexican Mix CheeseSo that’s what I recommend in the recipe.

What is the enchiladas sauce we used?

There are plenty of good brands of relatively low-carb enchiladas. We used this recipe Hatch red enchiladas sauce (Referral link). I’ve found conflicting information on the nutritional information, but it’s no more than 4-5 carbs per serving if you’re using it in this recipe. You can probably cut out a bit of the sauce as well if you want to cut back on the carbs even more.

What slow cooker did you use?

I used slow pottery casserole (affiliate link) for this recipe and one thing I love about the Casserole CrockPot is how you can put it in a hot oven when the slow cooker is done to get more browning for the finished dish.

ingredients

1/2 cup medium besante sauce
Two 15 oz. cans of red enchiladas (see notes)
6 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup sour cream
3 cups Mexican cheese mix
10 low-carb flour tortillas (see notes)
Thinly sliced green onions for garnish

directions

Put 1/2 cup of the salsa and red enchiladas into a small saucepan and simmer until sauce has reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 25-30 minutes. (Stir it a few times so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.)
While the sauce is reducing, slice the chicken away and measure out the sour cream and cheese.
When the sauce mixture is reduced, place the shredded chicken in a bowl and gently mix in 1 cup sauce, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese.
put 10 White Tortilla Carbohydrate Balance (affiliate link) On the counter (on cutting boards or paper towels) and divide the filling mixture among the 10 tortilla chips.
spray slow pottery casserole (affiliate link) Spray with nonstick spray and spread about 1/4 cup of the sauce over the bottom of the slow cooker.
Roll each enchilada as tightly as possible and place them side by side in the slow cooker. (You will have to smash them together to get all 10 enchiladas, but it will work.)
Spread the rest of the sauce on top of the rolled enchiladas, and top with the other cup of shredded cheese.
Simmer over high heat for 2 12 – 3 hours, or until cheese comes to a boil and is well melted. (If too much moisture collects on the lid of the porcelain pot, I remove the lid halfway and empty this liquid into the sink.)
If you are using a Casserole Crock, you may want to brown the top of the finished enchiladas in a 400°F/200°C oven for 10-15 minutes but this step is completely optional. (The crock pot is not recommended for grilling in the crockery attachment.)
If you prefer to bake this in a casserole in the oven, I would use a casserole dish about 10″ x 12″ if you have that size. Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C and bake the enchiladas for 30-40 minutes, or until bubbling hot and lightly browned on top. (be seen Instructions from this recipe If you want more tips for making it in the oven.)
Serve hot and garnished with green onions and extra sour cream to add to the table if desired.

Notes

Extra enchiladas can be frozen, although we don’t have anything left yet to freeze. Reheat in the microwave for about a minute, then sprinkle a little cheese and heat for another minute. Tasty!

I made these low carb enchiladas at New slow pottery casserole (affiliate link) which contains an accessory for crockery in the form of a casserole. You can make this in a large 5-6L elliptical saucepan, but you may have to stack the enchiladas to fit them all.

I loved Tortilla balance carbohydrates (affiliate link) This recipe is best, but a whole-wheat tortilla is slightly lower in carbs.

Use enchilada sauce with the fewest carbohydrates you can find; You can also use 28 oz. can if you find it. Mexican brands usually have the best flavor. I like too pes picante sauce (Referral link) for the sauce.
