It's SO easy to make, totally filling and ridiculously yummy!&nbsp;Who doesn't love Mexican Food?!Okay, well I know of one person but I'm pretty sure he's just confused.Mexican food has always been one of my favorite cuisines. Those cravings get even stronger with pregnancy, let me tell you.I'm due in just a few weeks (hooray!) so now my focus if shifting to meals that can be prepared a couple different easy ways and frozen.I made this Keto Chicken Enchilada Bowl on the stove top, but it can easily be made in a slow cooker or an Instant Pot by adding the chicken, enchilada sauce, chiles and onions together and letting them cook on low heat all day.The chicken and sauce mixture can ALSO&nbsp;be prepared ahead of time and frozen so when it's time to reheat ( I would probably let it thaw and then heat in a pot on the stove top) you can just add a steamer bag of cauliflower rice and your fresh toppings. Pretty simple!Another option would be to make the cauliflower yourself. If you're not familiar with the dish, it's pretty simple...just grated cauliflower that you can prepare yourself with a fresh head and a food processor. My new favorite way to prepare it is found in my Keto&nbsp;Mexican Cauliflower Rice recipe. Delicious!You can also make your own enchilada sauce or buy some in the store. Here's a low carb enchilada sauce recipe if you'd like to make your own.Here's a breakdown on the nutrition.

The good thing about the breasts is that you can brown all at once. The thighs I usually have to do in 2 batches. I use El Pato Enchilada sauce(28oz),and just dump in the whole thing. No need for water or chicken broth imo. The carbs on the El Pato sauce is low at only 13 net carbs for the whole jar (39 total - 26 grams fiber = 13 net carbs). The first time wasn't spicy enough for me, so I threw in 4 chopped jalapeños and 6 chopped Serrano peppers along with the canned hatch chilis, and it's perfect. I serve it over cauliflower rice or regular cauliflower or broccoli, and with all the recommended toppings. Thanks for a go to keto recipe in my house! 👌Very well explained and written. everything is so clear. Would start my keto plan on 15 November. Thanks for this article ❤This dish was absolutely delicious. Maybe would add a touch of salt depending on chicken stock. I did make my own enchilada sauce but really really flavorful.
