--Letakan kode unit adsense hasil parse disini--
Love Mexican cuisine? You�d love this keto-friendly version of chicken enchiladas.

In the original recipe, tortillas are used to wrap the filling. We use zucchini instead. It turns out tasty and super lower carb compared to the original one.

One of the main ingredients in our recipe is chicken meat. It�s easy to cook and high in protein. You can also use beef instead of chicken.

For the fillings, you just can�t ignore cheese! We use both cheddar and mozzarella cheese for this recipe.

For the enchilada sauce, we suggest you make your own keto version of enchilada sauce if possible. Store-bought sauces usually have a few ingredients that aren�t keto-friendly.

We also added garlic and chili peppers for extra flavors. After all, what kind of Mexican cuisine without some spicy red pepper? In addition, it�s a great way to get your metabolism to work faster and burn excess calories.

This dish can be an excellent meal for lunch or dinner. You can also impress your friends with your culinary abilities and put it on a festive table. Bon Appetit!
