Description

Delicious and low-carb Keto Beef Enchiladas featuring seasoned ground beef wrapped in low-carb tortillas, topped with enchilada sauce and melted cheese. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that fits a ketogenic lifestyle, delivering bold Mexican flavors with minimal carbs.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Filling

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Assembly

  • 4 low-carb tortillas
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce (no sugar added)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the enchiladas.
  2. Cook the beef mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they become soft and fragrant. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to season the meat thoroughly.
  3. Assemble enchiladas: Spoon the seasoned beef mixture evenly onto each low-carb tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down in a baking dish to keep them from unrolling during baking.
  4. Add sauce and cheese: Pour the no-sugar-added enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top to cover the sauce generously.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese has melted completely.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve the enchiladas hot for best flavor and enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use low-carb tortillas to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, add diced green chilies or jalapeños to the beef mixture.
  • Ensure enchilada sauce contains no added sugars to maintain ketogenic standards.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
