Cooked without tortilla for lower carb, can add crunchy tortilla chips to bottom of a bowl if you really need it them scoop the enchilada mix on top. Great with some avocado on the side!
0 HelpfulTasty enough, and pretty easy, but kind of bland. Next time I'd add some spices and use medium enchilada sauce. Added some sriracha to the second bowl and it was LOTS better.
0 HelpfulGreat and easy. Now I just need to find an enchilada sauce my husband likes better and this recipe is a keeper.
0 HelpfulI never knew what was in enchilada sauce before! Cooked the sauce down more and skipped the cauliflower rice.
