Enchiladas

Having lived in Los Angeles for almost a decade, I’m used to an amazing array of Mexican food! Now being back in the UK, I often find myself craving it but not wanting to use the pre-made sauce jars or kits. Enchiladas are a delicious and indulgent meal for days you really want some comfort food. This is not a completely authentic recipe so feel free to mix it up to suit your preferences.

Ingredients

For the sauce:

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp coconut flour
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 can tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock or vegetable stock

For the filling:

1 tbsp olive oil
2 onions chopped
2 cloves of garlic minced
2 bell peppers chopped
Protein of choice (I used steak, but you could use chicken, prawns, tofu or vegetables)

For the wraps:

4 gluten free, high fibre wraps with a net carbohydrate of under 20g (net carbs are calculated by taking the grams of carbohydrates per 100g and subtracting the grams of fibre per 100g. I tend to buy the B Free sweet potato wraps at Tesco which are about 13g of net carbohydrates)
2 cups grated cheese of choice (I like to use Red Leicester or cheddar)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all the sauce ingredients except for tomatoes and stock. Stir to remove lumps and add the tomatoes and broth.

Bring to boil and then simmer until thickened, about 10-15 minutes)

Heat a large pan over medium high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the onions and cook until translucent. Then add the garlic and peppers.

Cool for a few minutes until slightly browned. Add your protein of choice.

Season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook until cooked through to your liking.

Take each wrap and fill with your filling and sauce. Wrap and place in your baking dish with the seam side down.

Pour the extra sauce over the top of all your wraps and add the cheese. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes.

Serve with salad, green vegetables or cauliflower rice.
