Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas

Jump to Recipe

These easy Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas make the perfect family dinner on busy nights. I love my slow cooker. By just changing a few ingredients, I have made this a healthy low carb Chicken Enchilada recipe. I also have this same recipe I make in my Instant Pot. It will be on the blog soon.

Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas. This recipe is both healthy and low carb.

Low Carb

Use Whole wheat Tortilla Carb Balance burrito size shells. By using the Tortilla Carb Balance shells it makes this dish low carb. They are only 8g of net carbs per serving. I like to eat this on my low carb days since I follow the FWTFL . Check your local grocery store for these.

Note: If you are in the FWTFL Bootcamp these are not Gluten Free and do contain cheese.

Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas. These are healthy and low carb.

Greek Yogurt

By using Greek yogurt in place of sour cream makes this recipe a healthy one.  My kids can’t even tell the difference. I don’t even buy sour cream anymore. Give it a try.

Homemade Taco seasoning is very easy to make and healthier than the store-bought kind. It only takes a few minutes to make and I store mine in a spice jar I bought from here.

Homemade Taco Seasoning

Store in a spice jar.

2 Tablespoon Chili Powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 onion powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Store in a glass seasoning jar.

Staying home is more important now than ever befor Staying home is more important now than ever before. Being sick or having a sick child looks a little different these days. The last place anyone wants to be is at a doctor's office sitting in a waiting room with other ill people. Now because of @ssm_health virtual visits, you can see a virtual doctor from the safety and comfort of your home by using your mobile device or computer. No insurance needed and the cost is only $25. It's so convenient. I have a full blog post sharing how I use it. See the direct link in my bio for more information.
