THM – S – Low Carb
EASY NO BAKE RECIPE FOR SUMMER!
Here’s a recipe that I developed using my Enchilada Gravy. These enchiladas cook up in one skillet with no dipping and rolling or even baking necessary. I created it to make up for the extra step of cooking up the gravy. It is just one more easy step but still…I thought this might help you guys out because it did me! Enjoy!

Skillet Enchiladas with Low Carb Chili Gravy
2 pounds good quality ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
Brown together and drain off grease, if necessary, then add in:
1 can chopped green chilies, drained or rotel tomatoes
1/4 tsp mineral salt
2 cups beef broth
Cook this mixture on medium high until the broth has cooked in and you have a flavorful ground beef! Now remove from heat and add in:
2 cups of ENCHILADA GRAVY – see below for ingredient list
4-6 low carb tortillas (cut into 4-6 wedges each)Smooth out the mixture in the skillet and place the wedges on top, flipping them to get them “saucy”. Now top with:
1 1/2 – 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese – Use a good quality block and grate it yourself for best flavor.
Put the lid on the hot mixture and let the cheese melt while you assemble the toppings.
Top with a good quality Pico- HERE’S MINE and in a flash you turn this pico into a wonderful fresh salsa too!
2% Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream** Note we reheated the leftovers for lunch and although we’d eaten all our tortillas, I just added more cheese on top and reheated then we made burritos with the pico and greek yogurt added in and if possible it was even more flavorful than last night. I’m not promising you any leftovers here, I’m just sayin’ if you can get them…You will enjoy them!Enchilada Gravy –Quick List of Ingredients- As follows – CLICK HERE – for easy detailed instructions.
3 Tblsp. oil – (I used refined coconut oil-no flavor) info on link
3 Tblsp. coconut flour
4 cups chicken stock or broth (the more flavorful the broth the better the gravy!)
4 Tblsp. chili powder
1 Tblsp cumin
1/2 Tsp. salt (this is to taste but don’t add in more until you’ve tried seasoning with the tomato paste)
1/4 can tomato paste or 1/2 cup tomato sauce (optional)
This recipe will make a double batch or will keep in the fridge for days until you want to add it to another Mexican dish!
I still odn’t understand about thm serving sizes, how many servings are in this enchilada dish?
Hi, Lynnita! The concern for serving sizes usually only pertains to certain categories of dishes. In the case of this one the low carb tortillas do have some carbs. Since these are frankenfood carbs THM would like you not to consume more than one large one (4 net carbs) in one meal or snack or more than 2 smaller ones (3 net carbs). Depending on which size you choose to use in the dish you can just figure out your serving based on the size tortillas you use. Otherwise, all the other ingredients in this dish, including the sauce do not have a set allowable limit. It is normally the FP and E meals where you get into the serving limits. I will go ahead and note this though when I get this post updated. 🙂
Oh, MY! I never thought to thicken a sauce with coconut flour. This is going into the bi-weekly rotation at my house. We have been buying the Mission low carb tortillas @ 4g net carbs and “Frankenfood” or not, they are pretty tasty at that carb count.
Thanks for another recipe that will be a family fave and keep the old folks with diabetes and heart disease around long enough to raise them.
Hi Teresia,
Have you ever tried freezing the rest of the sauce? We adore Mexican food, but it’s just the two of us now.
Any suggestions what to use instead of the low carb tortillas? I can’t have gluten. Thank you 🙂
Hi Darlene! You could try these masa wraps. I haven’t tested it with them but they are very good. Just as with the low carb tortillas the amounts must be limited and the amounts will be specified in the recipe. 🙂 Hope this helps. https://www.nanaslittlekitchen.com/masa-or-corn-flour-tortillas/
Hello! This sauce sounds yummy but can you please tell me how spicy it is?
Love your recipes, thanks!
