The wife and I are fanatics about Mexican Food and we simply refuse to give up on it.  Also, over the last three decades, we have learned to cook our own.  We just have to be creative on carnivore, so here is how we make extremely low carb, Beef enchiladas, perfect for the Carnivore diet.

The only carb is see in this whole recipe is 1 gram in the Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 1/2 a gram in the Garlic Powder and 1/2 a gram in the Cumin.  So 2 grams total and the sauce serves two-three people.... so very, very little carb, maybe less than 2 grams for the whole plate.  (By the way, zero carb in the dried chili's.)

1. Make your own Enchilada Sauce, because we have not been able to find zero carb Enchilada Sauce and homemade is better.  Start out with a bag of dried chili's and toast them in a dry Iron Skillet for 5 minutes.  Then put them in hot water for 30 minutes, and into the blender with salt, garlic powder and cumin.  (very small amount of garlic and cumin).  Once blended, strain the sauce and pour in a skillet to simmer.

2. For two plates, crack three eggs and whip, adding about a 1/4 cup of water to make it more runny.  Thinly coat a large skillet with butter, leaving very little oil and pour 1/2 the eggs in... (This is the one place I have to use a non-stick skillet).  Rotate the pan handle, allowing the egg to flow all around the pan, making something that looks like a crepe...... very thin.  You have to flip and cook the other side, or you can cheat like I do and have an oven cook the top with the broiler.

3. Brown a pound of hamburger meat and salt to taste.

4. Now you can build your enchilada.  Lightly coat an oven safe plate with melted butter and place the egg crepe on the plate.  On the crepe place your hamburger and a little sharp cheddar cheese and then drizzle some of the enchilada sauce on the inside and roll up.  Drizzle the outside with more sauce and put a little cheese on top and put the plate in an oven on 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

5. We put a dish towel on the table, as a hot plate is about to come out of the oven.

 

If you called this a splurge or a meal on a cheat day...... you are cheating very little.  I need this meal once a week.

I suppose you should stay away from this recipe if you have determined that chili's and/or enchilada sauce mess with your body.  I was eating EVERY chili and hot peppers since I was a child and my body loves it.  By the way, chili's are rich in vitamins and minerals - a good source of Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Vitamin E, Phosphorus, Calcium, Potassium, Zinc and Selenium.

PS. If you wanted zero carb enchiladas, just eliminate the cheese, garlic and cumin.   They will still be darn good.

  • I’ve done planned cheat days of taco bowls (no shells just salad) with beef and taco seasoning, shredded cheese, lettuce tomato raw onion and hot sauce  definitely not carnivore but it felt like

  • Ok now you’re talkin. I grew up on Mexican food and figured it was gone forever but you may have given me new hope. For someone in maintenance mode like me those few carbs is no big deal. I can’t deal

    The only carbs in an enchilada are the tortilla, unless you buy grocery store sauce. Oh no, the sauce is not over-cooked.  That's the color of real, dried chilis and the sauce was very "earthy",

You avoided the questions 
what’s XANTUM Gum and all the other hidden stuff

I haven’t “avoided” anything. My answer was I looked them and found nothing that bothered me. But since you are too lazy to look them up yourself I do the work for you. Xantum gum is a thickener and stabilizer. Natural flavors can are a flavor enhancer that can be derived from plants, animals or fruits. It can also have chemicals in it. In this case we don’t know what they are using for a natural flavoring. Nisin is an anti bacterial peptide used as a preservative.
Nothing in that bothers me and I’ve done great eating those.

Now, when are you going to answer my question, what danger zone?

and you didn’t answer my

Okay, well when I need to hear the strong truth I will be sure not to ask you. Because your motive is a lazy one and everyone else here knows it

stop justifying the toxic industry that adds chemicals to foods

Well you like to prove that you are a jerk every day on here. You have proven that you know very little about carnivore and go out of your way to insult other members on here. I guess it’s just a New York thing.

But your IP Address shows you are in New York, New York.
I’ve been to Wyoming several times and have never come across anyone like you from there. New York must have rubbed off on you.

I think you all can be a bit nicer. Just a friendly suggestion. I've had nice interaction with you, but also with @Geezy. He's been very helpful. Sometimes a step back is good, and ease things up. We are all here to get better and I understand we are emotionally attached to what our findings are.

WOW... had no idea a simple post on Carnivore Enchiladas would stir up such passion with all the combative posts.

Probably some disrespect, but I have eaten at over 12 Mexican Food restaurants in Wyoming over the years, many touted as the best in the state, but they don't have a clue what real Mexican Food is.  You have to get far, far closer to the southern border to understand.  So your culinary criticism of my Enchiladas is ignored.  

You need to take a different tone with folks on here and don't be so confrontational.

I appreciate your contributions on here, please don't let it discourage you from posting. Argue the point, not the person, my father used to say. I always admire anyone who makes things from scratch, as I am but a knuckle-dragger when it comes to cooking.

Yeah it’s hard to get good Mexican outside of the border states.
When my son was working the oilfields up in Pennsylvania or maybe Ohio, not sure which, he came home for a visit and I told him that I’d cook something up that weekend all he had to do was tell me what he wanted. He said “Well dad, there’s two things I can’t get up north, Mexican food and barbecue. I’m going out for Mexican tonight so I could really enjoy some of your brisket and ribs”.
