I don't know about you, but for me, the low-carb/keto lifestyle decision was made very difficult by the fact that one of the cuisines I love the most, Mexican, seemed to be off-limits.
Oh yes, you can have all of the taco meat, carnitas, carne asada, you want.
BUT!
No beans, rice, or worst of all, T O R T I L L A S!
I solved the tortilla issue with these keto flour tortillas.
And that was a game-changer!!
Once that recipe happened in my kitchen, and the Mr loved it, a whole new world opened up to me!
I asked Kevin what the first keto Mexican recipe he wanted me to try and, without batting an eye, he said my Easy Creamy Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas.
Color me all sorts of happy!!
They are my hands down fave enchiladas.
EVER!!
This was inspired by my other green chile recipes like this Baked Green Chile Chicken, Green Chile Cauliflower Rice, or these Creamy Slow Cooker Green Chile Chicken Tacos.

🔪Keto Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas Instructions
This is a basic breakdown of the steps involved in making Keto Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas. You will find the full directions in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Combine the sour cream and roasted tomatillo salsa verde in a food processor.
One by one, roll 1/8th of the chicken and cheese mixture (about 1/2 cup) up in a tortilla and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour the salsa mixture evenly over the top. Top with remaining shredded cheese.
Press into patties on the tray
Cover the baking dish with tin foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the green onions, tomatoes, and cilantro.
Substitutions
- Tortillas - If you do not want to make the keto coconut flour tortillas used in this recipe you can use your favorite store-bought low-carb tortillas. These are my go-to store-bought tortillas.
- Salsa - I use this roasted tomatillo salsa verde or this store-bought green chile salsa, but you can use whatever salsa you prefer.
🍽Equipment
This Creamy Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas recipe uses very little equipment. The only special equipment needed to make this recipe is a food processor or blender to whip up the sauce.
Storage
Make sure to fully cool your leftover chicken enchiladas before storing them. Keep in an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
The good news is that you can freeze enchiladas before or after they've been cooked. If you're freezing them before, simply prepare them as you would and wrap the entire tray in cling film or tin foil before placing it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
FAQ about Creamy Keto Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas
Sure! If you prefer ground chicken over shredded chicken, by all means, go for it!
Nope! A lot of traditional enchilada recipes do call for you to lightly fry the tortillas before rolling the enchiladas but these coconut flour tortillas are already very pliable so it is not necessary.
Spreading a small amount of the sauce on the bottom of the pan before placing the enchiladas in it helps to keep them from sticking on the bottom and covering the enchiladas evenly with the sauce will help to keep them from sticking to each other.
