My husband doesn’t like a lot of different food cuisines, he likes to keep it pretty simple. Mexican food for him consists of tacos or enchiladas. I’ve mastered Keto tacos with the help of a cheese shell, so next up was enchiladas.
Once I found Cut Da Carb wraps, I knew I had to try them as a tortilla replacement – and let me tell you, you CANNOT tell the difference in this recipe. The only difference is it is a LOT less carbs!!
So there aren’t many ingredients to this dinner. I like to keep things very simple.
All you need is some chicken, the wraps, enchilada sauce, and cheese. See, simple!
Start by putting the chicken into a 9×13 casserole dish
You can use chicken breasts if you prefer. With the Keto diet, I like the extra fat you get from the chicken thighs, but either will work or do a mix of both.
Then take 4 of the Cut Da Carb wraps and tear them each in half. On each half, you’ll put some chicken and roll them up. Place the enchilada rolls into a 9×13 casserole dish
Bake in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then I like to flip the broiler on and brown the cheese for just a couple minutes.
Let it cool and top however you’d like! I am good with just a little (ok, maybe a LOT) of sour cream.
It’s not the LOWEST carb dinner, but it’s definitely lower than a lot that I used to make. You could make each ‘roll’ bigger and put more chicken in each one and eliminate some of the wraps, which would cut some of the carbs. Regardless, it’s a lot less carbs than the regular version and just as yummy! (Scroll down for printable recipe.)
KETO Chicken Enchiladas
1 – 1.5lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
4 Cut Da Carb wraps
1 – 14-15 oz can enchilada sauce
1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Start by putting the chicken into a 9×13 casserole dish and bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F. Bake until done, about 22-25 minutes. Don’t over cook the chicken because you’re going to be putting it back in the oven. Once the chicken in done and cooled, shred or chop it up into smaller pieces.

Then take 4 of the Cut Da Carb wraps and tear them each in half. On each half, you’ll put some chicken and roll them up. Place the enchilada rolls into a 9×13 casserole dish. You’ll have 8 rolls. Open the can of sauce and pour over the top. Then top with the shredded cheddar (or other cheese of choice).

Let it cool and top however you’d like!
