My family loves Mexican food. Okay, so it is probably not true Mexican, but maybe more of an American Mexican. We love the flavors of chiles, cilantro, cumin, and guacamole. We probably have some form of Mexican food at least once a week (and sometimes twice)!

My husband especially loves enchiladas, and when one of my readers asked for a Green Chile Chicken Enchilada, I set to work. This recipe uses low carb tortillas, but if you are a Purist you could use the Wonder Wraps recipe (from the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook).

I used my Instant Pot to cook my chicken (I'm seriously in LOVE with that appliance)! It has made my life in the kitchen so much easier! I can have chicken ready and shredded in less than an hour, with only 5 minutes of hands-on time. It is wonderful! If you do not have an Instant Pot, please do yourself a favor and put it on your wish list!

Once you have the chicken cooked, you will make a sauce to pour over the enchiladas. The most difficult part is assembling them - and that isn't even difficult!

So, what do you need for these enchiladas?

3 Cups Cooked Shredded Chicken
