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.

Depends on what brand of cheese you use, but I calculated roughly… again roughly: 315 carbs per 1 enchilada, 22.16 g , 2 g carbs, 25 G protein, for 1 enchilada. Based off of 6 enchiladas per serving .
officially gluten free
I think you mean 315 Calories and 2 carbs?

Cheese tortillas and meat seasoning were great, but make sure to use good, spicy enchilada sauce otherwise it dulls the rest of the recipe. For spice lovers, green Chile cheese in the tortillas would also be good.

I made these tonight and they are so good. My cheese came out of the cover very greasy, so I set in on a paper towel and blotted it, problem solved. I am looking forward to trying the same recipe only with chicken. I did a side of riced cauliflower with some salsa topped with shredded cheese.
