Keto Chicken Enchilada Rolls

Keto Chicken Enchilada Rolls are a rich, low-carb twist on traditional enchiladas. Instead of tortillas, thin seasoned chicken slices are wrapped around a creamy, cheesy filling made with cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, and green chilies. After a quick sear for added flavor, the rolls are simmered in smoky enchilada sauce until tender and bubbling. Every bite delivers that classic enchilada comfort—creamy, spicy, and deeply satisfying without the extra carbs. You can easily customize these rolls with toppings like extra cheese, avocado, cilantro, or sour cream. With bold Mexican flavors and keto-friendly ingredients, these rolls keep your cravings fulfilled while staying within your macros.

Keto Chicken Enchilada Rolls

INGREDIENT NOTES

CHICKEN:
Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts for easy rolling. Pound them thin or slice them evenly to ensure they cook consistently. Fresh chicken provides the best flavor and texture.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:
Sharp cheddar adds a bold, tangy flavor to the filling and melts smoothly. Always choose full-fat cheddar for keto recipes.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
Mozzarella gives the filling its creamy stretch and helps bind everything together. Freshly shredded mozzarella melts better than pre-shredded varieties.

CREAM CHEESE:
Cream cheese creates a rich, velvety base for the filling. Use softened cream cheese for easy mixing and a smooth texture. It also boosts the fat content to keep the dish keto-friendly.

KETO ENCHILADA SAUCE:
Use a keto-friendly enchilada sauce or make your own to avoid added sugars. It adds moisture, smokiness, and authentic enchilada flavor. Choose mild or spicy depending on your preference.

GREEN CHILIES:
Green chilies bring mild heat and a subtle zing to the filling. They blend perfectly with creamy ingredients. Swap with jalapeños for extra spice.

OLIVE OIL:
Olive oil helps sear the chicken, locking in juices while adding healthy fats. It keeps carbs low and flavor high.

GARLIC POWDER:
Garlic powder provides a deep, savory flavor throughout the dish. It pairs well with cumin and paprika without overpowering the filling.

CUMIN:
Cumin adds a warm, earthy note that enhances the classic Mexican profile of the rolls. A small amount goes a long way.

PAPRIKA:
Smoked paprika contributes a rich, smoky aroma and mild heat. Spanish smoked paprika offers the best flavor.

SALT & PEPPER:
Season the chicken well, adjusting based on the saltiness of your cheese and sauce. Freshly cracked pepper enhances the aroma.

CILANTRO:
Fresh cilantro adds a burst of color and freshness, balancing the richness of the cheese and chicken. Use parsley for a milder flavor.
