Ingredients Needed To Make these Keto Enchiladas

To make these Delicious Low Carb Enchiladas You’ll Need: Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, Ground Beef, Minced Onion, Cumin, Chili Powder, Paprika, Onion Powder, Garlic Power, Salt, Pepper, Water, Pickled Jalapeños (Optional), Enchiladas Sauce and Sour Cream

How Do You Make Keto Beef Enchiladas?

To Make this Low Carb Enchiladas Recipe:

Step 1: Start by browning the beef with the minced onion. Then mix the cumin, chilli powder, onion and garlic powder and salt and pepper with the water. Then pour over the browned ground beef. Let simmer until all the liquid is evaporated.

Step 2: Then mix the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses in a large mixing bowl. Divide the cheese mixture into 6 then make into balls. Place onto a parchment paper (Not Waxed Paper) lined baking sheet. Bake until the edges are golden brown, then flip upside down. Place a few spoonfuls of the beef on the edge of each shell. Tightly roll each one into a cigar shape.

Step 3: Turn your oven temperature down, then place the cheesy beef rolls in a row on a small baking pan or dish. Then pour the enchiladas sauce evenly over them. Cover with remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese. Bake until the cheese on top is melted. Remove from the pan and serve with sour cream and chopped cilantro.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.

While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Keto Beef Enchiladas

These Keto Beef Enchiladas are loaded with Flavor and provide a nutritious hit of healthy fats. The recipe is best served with a side of sour cream and garnished with chopped fresh Cilantro or Parsley. They can be made with many variations. Instead of Beef you could use Chicken with Franks Red or you could add a little cream cheese and or jalapeños.

Our absolute fav are these Keto Bacon Dill Pickle Fat Bombs. I love that they’re so easy and quick to make.

Recipe Notes:

– You must use Parchment Paper, Not Waxed Paper. The cheese will stick to waxed paper.

– To make ahead: Roll out the beef and cheese. Let cool completely, then store in the fridge or freezer (without any sauce on them).

– To reheat, Preheat oven to 350 F. Pour the sauce over then add the cheese. Bake for 8 -10 minutes.
