How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the steps to create these mouthwatering enchiladas:

1. In a large skillet, heat the avocado or olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Stir in the garlic and red bell pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the peppers are tender.
3. Add the shredded chicken, diced green chiles, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
4. Pour in the red enchilada sauce and stir to combine. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the enchilada sauce on the bottom. Take a tortilla, fill it with the chicken mixture, and roll it up tightly. Place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
7. Once all the enchiladas are in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with non-dairy cheddar cheese shreds.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh cilantro, diced red onions, sliced avocado, or non-dairy sour cream if desired.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your enchiladas turn out perfectly:

• For a spicier kick, add some jalapeños to the filling or use a spicier enchilada sauce.
• Feel free to swap out the chicken for ground turkey or beef if you prefer.
• Make sure to warm the tortillas slightly before filling them to prevent them from cracking.
• If you have leftovers, they make a fantastic lunch the next day!

How to Serve

These Flavorful Whole30 Enchiladas are perfect on their own, but you can elevate your meal with some delicious sides. Consider serving them with:

• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
• Guacamole or salsa for an extra flavor boost.
• For a unique twist, try pairing them with White Chicken Enchiladas for a fun enchilada night!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you’re looking to save time, you can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just assemble and bake when you’re ready to eat! Leftover enchiladas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
