Buying store-bought canned enchilada sauce means that there is a good chance it’s filled with sugar and other additives, so read the labels if you decide to skip making it.

Cheese â€“ Lots of options when it comes to cheese. You could use shredded cheddar cheese, Colby Jack cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, or a combination of any of them. 

Low Carb Tortillas â€“ I love how great low carb keto tortillas taste, and I don’t have to worry about a bunch of added carbs. You can make your own or just buy store-bought low carb tortillas, such as Mission carb balance tortillas. I don’t use these daily since they are ‘dirty keto’ but for an occasional meal, we do enjoy them.
