How to make Keto Beef Enchiladas:

You 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.

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.

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?

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s 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.
