Sometimes trying to find Mexican food that is keto & low carb diet-friendly can be rarer than seeing a chupacabra.

Then when you finally find a low-carb Mexican recipe online that looks good, but it requires that you make low-carb homemade tortillas with hard-to-find or expensive ingredients.

I am introducing Easy Keto Chicken Verde Enchiladas, which are made with easy-to-find ingredients found at a regular, non-specialty grocery store.

The Hatch green chile enchilada sauce I purchased from a regular grocery store, and also happens to be gluten-free and lower in carbs than most brands.

If you can't find this brand, then you can also use Herdez Salsa Verde instead and it works fine in this recipe as well.

My hubby & son appreciated the extra meatiness of these enchiladas from using the "meat tortillas."
