Keto Chicken Enchiladas

I’m all about easy and fast keto cooking when it comes to busy weekday meals. I know that many of you are pressed for time and want easy recipes but ones that are also very tasty! If you love Mexican food, you must try these simple enchiladas!

I made the tortillas for Keto Chicken Enchiladas 2 different ways but today I will give you the SUPER Easy recipe. One is a little more work than the other one but they both are amazing! This version is also dairy free if needed. I will blog the harder version in the future, but for now I would love to hear your thoughts on this easy Keto Enchilada recipe!

Another tip I want to give to those of you who do not want to cook anything… pick up an organic rotisserie chicken and shred it with 2 forks. Then open a can of green chilis and combine well into the shredded chicken. This will be your filling. But seriously, making shredded chicken in a slow cooker is very easy too.

One more tip to make this a fast dinner is to prep this a few days ahead and if you really like this, make a triple batch and store 2 batches in the freezer for an easy meal.

Do not use store bought enchilada sauce for this recipe! Have you looked at the ingredients in that stuff??? Check it out:
