Tips and Variations

• You can use any cooked chicken, such as rotisserie chicken, leftover chicken, or canned chicken. You can also cook your own chicken by boiling, baking, or frying it.
• You can make your own keto tortillas by mixing 2 cups of almond flour, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of water, and a pinch of salt in a blender or food processor, then cooking them in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden and flexible.
• You can make your own enchilada sauce by simmering some tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in a saucepan for about 15 minutes, or until thickened. Alternatively, you can use a store-bought enchilada sauce that is sugar-free and low in carbs.
• You can add some other ingredients to the enchiladas, such as black olives, green chilies, jalapeños, or bacon, for extra flavor and spice.
