These Keto Beef Enchiladas are a delicious low-carb twist on a classic Mexican favorite. Ground beef seasoned with chili powder, cumin, and paprika is rolled into low-carb tortillas, smothered in no-sugar-added enchilada sauce, topped with melted cheese, and baked to perfection. Perfect for a satisfying, keto-friendly meal.

Ingredients

Beef Filling

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon 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 (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the enchiladas.
  2. Cook Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is softened and aromatic.
  3. Season Beef: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors, then remove the skillet from heat.
  4. Assemble Enchiladas: Place a portion of the beef mixture onto each low-carb tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly and arrange them seam-side down in a baking dish.
  5. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the no-sugar-added enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese generously on top.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving to add a bright, fresh flavor.
