Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken shredded
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 10 oz can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 low carb tortillas I like to use Mission Carb Balance tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded mexican cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. 
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook in a skillet on medium heat for about 7 minutes each side and no longer pink. Shred chicken with a fork.
  • In a bowl, add shredded chicken, salsa, sour cream and only 1 cup of shredded cheese and mix together.
  • Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and pour half of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Pull apart the tortillas and place them on a plate with a paper towel in between each one and warm in the microwave for about 1 minute. (this will prevent them from sticking to each other)
  • Add about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla and tightly roll up each tortilla and place them in the baking dish, seam side down.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Serve immediately and garnish with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, lettuce. etc.
