Enchilada's for Everyone
Enchilada's for Everyone
These enchilada's are really good. You can make them as standard which are very yummy but the low carb version is so good too. My mom makes 1/2 low carb and 1/2 standard so the whole family can enjoy them together. Carb count varies based on thickener and tortilla used. Usually 5-6 gm each if you use very low carb thickener and 3 net carb whole wheat tortillas.
3 Tbsp butter
1/3 cup low carb thickener (or flour for regular style)
2 - 14oz cans chicken broth
1 tsp dried coriander (or cumin)
1 - 4 oz can chopped green chilies, divided (** optional)
2 cups cubed or shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie is best)
1 cup (4 oz) shredded monterey jack cheese (or mexican blend)
8 tortillas (low carb for you, regular flour for friends/family)
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
For sauce, melt butter in saucepan. Stir in thickener/flour until smooth. Gradually add broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in coriander/cumin and half of the chilies. In a bowl, combine the chicken, monterey jack cheese and remaining chilies.
Spoon 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto each tortilla; roll up. Place seam side down in an ungreased 12-in x 9-in x 2-in baking dish. Pour sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 375F for 15-18 min or until heated through and cheese is melted.
Enjoy!!
