Keto Dinner | Low Carb Chicken Enchilada Casserole

This low carb chicken enchilada casserole recipe will be loved by everyone, but the absence of tortillas makes it perfect for low carb or keto diets. You could serve tortillas on the side for those who are dining who don’t follow a low carb diet.

I have two favorite foods, pizza, and enchiladas. If they were the only food available, I could eat them both every day and be happy. But when you follow a low carb diet, those are two types of foods that are notoriously full of carbs.

Easy, Keto Low-Carb Chicken and Cheese Enchilada Casserole is a quick dinner recipe with no-sugar red sauce, cream cheese, sour cream, cauliflower, and taco seasoning. Best of all, this dish ditches the carbs and is prepared with no tortilla! You can turn this meal prep friendly dish into an enchilada bowl! Grab your skillet and get cooking!

For this recipe, you will need cauliflower (I used a bag of frozen), chicken breasts, enchilada sauce, shredded cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream. You will also need cumin and chili powder for the taco seasoning. I like to use Trader Joe’s brand of red enchilada sauce because it doesn’t have any added sugar. You can also make Homemade Enchilada Sauce with this recipe.
