The Ingredients
Scroll to the bottom of this post for the quantity of each ingredient used in our low carb enchiladas recipe.

Keto Tortillas – I use either the Keto Tortillas recipe for the best low carb tortillas.
Chicken – I use chicken breast fillets which you can swap to chicken thigh fillets if you prefer. Cooked shredded chicken can be stirred through the sauce and used as well.
Enchilada Sauce – my Enchilada Sauce recipe takes just 5 minutes to prepare and is sooo worth it. In a pinch just mix some seasoning with tomato puree.
Taco Seasoning – I have included a link to our Taco Seasoning recipe but you could use any of our tasty seasonings in the Rubadubdub eBook.
How to Make Keto Enchiladas


Saute onion – place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, onion, garlic, and taco seasoning; sauté until the onion is soft.
Cook chicken – add chicken; cook, turning, occasionally until the chicken is cooked through. Fold through 3/4 cup of enchilada sauce. Transfer to a bowl.


Preheat oven to 180°C fan/200°C static/350°F. Spoon 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the base of an 18 x 24 cm /7 x 10 inch baking pan.
Fill & Roll – Lay tortilla flat and fill with 2-3 tablespoons of chicken. Sprinkle with cheese and roll. Place seam-side down into the baking tray. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Bake – pour enchilada sauce over and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes until cheese has melted and is deliciously golden.
What to Serve with Chicken Enchiladas
These are some of my most favourites toppings to serve with all Mexican food.
Chili Con Queso – deliciously spiced cheese sauce. You could also try my recipe for Cottage Cheese Queso.
Guacamole – so tasty and a great source of fat. Plus a heap of pickled Mexican red onions are the perfect combo of citrus and creamy avocado.
Pickled Jalapeños – I honestly always have my own jalapeno escabeche (pickled jalapenos) in the fridge. Even now I have about 1kg of jalapenos in the fridge. The link takes you to my amazing keto recipe that has zero sugar.
Also, if you just don’t have any low carb tortillas e.g. Mission Carb Balance tortillas, handy you could make a chicken enchilada casserole with or without tortillas. Just fill the baking dish with the filling, top with cheese and bake. Serve with toppings or keto corn chips.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can! Look for low-carb or keto-friendly tortillas made from almond flour, coconut flour, or a combination of keto-approved ingredients. If you can’t find any, making your own is a great option, and often tastier!
For a low-carb alternative, you can use thin slices of zucchini, eggplant, or even deli turkey or ham as a wrap. Another creative option is using cheese wraps, which add extra flavour and pair beautifully with the enchilada filling.
