- 1/4 cup diced green chilies (canned)
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Ingredients for the sauce:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- To make the enchilada sauce, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until softened.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- For the chicken filling, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced green chilies, diced red bell pepper, diced onion, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Warm the low-carb tortillas slightly in the microwave to make them more pliable.

- Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, covering them evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
