Ingredients
Enchiladas:
8 low-carb crepes (or 8 low-carb tortillas, or 4 Cut Da Carb Wraps cut in half)
1 pound shredded rotisserie chicken with juices (about 4 cups)
Salt and pepper to taste
White Cheese Sauce:
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (8 ounces)
4 ounces cream cheese
4 ounces canned diced green chilies plus 1 can water
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp white pepper
¼ tsp salt
Instructions
Preparation:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
-
Shred chicken if not done already. Warm it if cold, then season generously with salt and pepper.
Sauce:
-
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, combine cream cheese, Monterey Jack, green chilies with water, and spices.
-
Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Simmer gently for a few minutes until thickened. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Assembly:
-
Spread ½ cup of the sauce in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
-
Place a crepe (or tortilla/wrap) on your work surface. Add ½ cup of shredded chicken. Roll up and place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with remaining crepes.
-
Pour the remaining sauce over the rolled enchiladas.
-
Bake in the oven for 20–30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and slightly golden.
Serving:
-
Serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side. One enchilada per serving is filling and satisfying.
Notes
- Low-carb option: Use low-carb crepes or tortillas for the lowest carb count.
- Gluten-free option: Use homemade or store-bought gluten-free crepes.
- Chicken variations: Poached chicken or leftover baked chicken can be used; just add a little chicken broth to keep it moist.
- Wrap alternatives: Cut Da Carb Wraps work well, but are slightly higher in carbs than crepes.
