LOW CARB ENCHILADAS
Ok ya'll!! If you are watching your carbs then this is quite possibly the best way to devour enchiladas without any of the guilt. Also, I hate the extra unnecessary ingredients in about every tortilla on the market, so this egg white wrap is the perfect healthy alternative. The taste is absolutely phenomenal but please note that the texture of a baked egg wrap is slightly different than a typical tortilla (although I would say it’s a very slight difference).
Approx 3 servings (2 enchiladas per person)
