Ingredients

  • 8 low carb crepes (8 low carb tortillas or 4 Cut De Carb Wraps* cut in half)

Chicken Enchilada Filling

  • 1 pound shredded rotisserie chicken with juices (4 cups of shredded chicken)
  • salt and pepper to taste

White Cheese Sauce

  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (8 ounces)
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 4 oz canned diced green chiles plus 1 can water
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon granulated onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preparation:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Shred the chicken if you haven't beforehand. If the shredded chicken is cold from the fridge, heat until warm. Then, season liberally with salt and pepper. It should taste really good before you continue. 

Sauce:

  • Place all of the sauce ingredients into a non-stick pan over medium heat. Melt the ingredients, stirring occasionally, to blend. Let the sauce simmer very gently for several minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally so it doesn't burn. Adjust seasoning per your taste. Remove from heat.

Assembly:

  • Spread ½- cup sauce in the base of the casserole dish. Place a crepe (tortilla or wrap) on your work surface and add ½ cup of shredded chicken. Roll up like a cigar and place seam side down into the casserole dish. Repeat. 
  • Pour the rest of the sauce over the filled enchiladas and bake in the middle of the oven for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly. Serve.
  • Serving size is 1 white chicken enchilada. Serves 8, at 2 net carbs each.
