Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup low-carb enchilada sauce
- 2 cups cauliflower rice (or 6 low-carb tortillas, sliced)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare the onion and spices: In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine and enhance the flavor.
- Layer the casserole: In a baking dish, spread a layer of cauliflower rice or low-carb tortillas. Top with half of the cooked chicken, followed by half of the enchilada sauce and a layer of cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
- Bake the casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly enchilada casserole as a hearty meal.
Notes

- You can use store-bought low-carb enchilada sauce or make your own for better control of ingredients.
- Adjust spices to taste depending on your preferred heat level.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
