These are one of my favorite dishes. I could eat the whole pan. They are so tasty. The great thing is about these is that you really aren't changing much from how you normally might make enchiladas and therefore you feel like you are eating like a normal person.

Wait, how can this be? Aren't those tortillas????

Here's your savior: Low Carb Tortillas.

I suggest getting the whole wheat kind to save at even more carbs. They come in at about 4 carbs a piece.

Ingrediants
Low Carb Whole Wheat Mission Fajita Tortillas
Shredded Cheese
Diced Onion
Chicken
1 can green chilies
1 can green enchilada sauce
Jalapenos

Steps
1. Put some chicken in a crock pot .
2. Add canned green chilies to chicken.
3. Allow to cook
4. Shred
5. Wet Low Carb Mission Tortillas in enchilada sauce
6. Roll Shredded chicken, diced onion, and jalapeno into tortilla creating rolls
7. Place in baking pan in rows.
8. Add extra enchilada sauce and cheese to top of enchiladas
9. When all your enchiladas are complete place finished pan in over at 325 for 30-40 mins.

Go light on the enchilada sauce, That's where the carbs will build up. A little will go a long way. I like to add extra peppers if i want more spice. Top with some sour cream if you like too.

In two enchiladas you can expect the following:

Carbs - 19
Dietary Fiber - 6
Net Carbs - 13

I was wondering if you could please elaborate on steps 1-3, are you using boneless skinless chicken breasts here? Frozen/raw or? I can't wait to try these and would love an easy way to prep the chicken. Thank you!

Good Question Timberhaazy,

We like to use boneless chicken breasts because it's a bit easier for shredding. You can use them frozen or raw, it won't really matter with a crock pot, but it will affect how long they need to cook. Cook time ranges from 2 hours to 4 depending on how high you have your pot set and if they are frozen or raw.

We usally do frozen on low if we are running out the door to work. Several hours later the chicken is ready to be shredded and is full of flavor.
We love our crock pot for this very reason. It does all the work. :)
