Keto Enchiladas with Cheese Tortilla Wraps (3 Net Carbs)

An enchilada is basically a corn tortilla filled with some type of meat and covered with hot sauce. Traditional enchiladas are not keto-friendly because the shell contains too many carbs.

When it comes to making low-carb and gluten-free versions of enchiladas, the corn tortilla can be replaced with zucchini slices or cheese shells.

I have made a keto-friendly version of chicken enchiladas using zucchini slices before. You can check my keto chicken zucchini enchiladas recipe for more details!

Today, I have made another keto-friendly version of enchiladas using cheese shells as tortillas. This recipe is very versatile. Once you make the shell, you can fill it with any low-carb foods of your choice.

Cheese has always been a favorite food in the keto community. A combination of cheeses is a gourmand’s feast. Cheese is low in carbs and a great source of fat and protein. It contains high amounts of calcium, phosphorus, zinc, riboflavin, vitamins A and B12.

Our tortillas are made of cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Yes, they are entirely made of cheese! The filling is made of chicken with sauce. Hot sauce is a good way to flavor your chicken without too many calories or carbs.

I also topped it up with sour cream and the herb cilantro, which possesses good amounts of essential oils, antioxidants, and vitamins. It also gives our enchiladas a beautiful aroma.

You can also use iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, and diced onions as toppings to further enhance the antioxidant and vitamin content. You can’t go wrong with these delicious wraps!


How to Make Low Carb Cheese Enchiladas

Mix cheddar and mozzarella in a bowl and divide them by 2 for 2 tortillas.

Fry cheese mixture for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts (you can also bake it in the oven too). Set aside and let it slightly cool. Meanwhile, enjoy the delicious smell of melted cheese.
