A favorite recipe of mine are these Low Carb Guacamole Chicken Enchiladas. When you are looking for a simple dinner recipe, these hit the spot! I haven’t made this recipe in a long time, so when we finally got some spring-like weather here in Texas, I whipped some up and invited friends to dine with us on our patio.
For a quick meal, buy a cooked rotisserie chicken from your grocery store deli and ready-made guacamole. Then, all you have to do is shred the chicken and assemble your enchiladas! A delicious quick and easy dinner.

This recipe is much lower in carbs that most of my recipes, but definitely not no carbs. Rice is only a side dish in the photos. Eating one of these enchiladas along with a salad is one of my favorite meals when I go onto low carb diets.
I don’t mean to be negative but I don’t really see how this is low carb at all when you’re using tortillas and rice?! I feel calling this meal low carb is extremely misleading.
Made this tonight and it was delicious!!! I could only find Taco sauce (not sure if it is similar) but it still turned out great! Thanks so much!
Me too! It’s sooo good and hard to eat only a few enchiladas! Thanks for stopping by:-)
these sound great! any kind of Mexican food is my weakness. could eat it everyday.
This looks AMAZING!! I love guacamole and love enchiladas. Having the two combined is brilliant!! I can’t wait to try.
