Lisa MarcAurele says "Hold the flour tortillas! There's no need for them with these tasty low-carb beef enchiladas. Instead, the beef mixture is wrapped in sliced deli meat chicken or turkey breast and then topped with grated cheese, a quick homemade enchilada sauce, and slices of jalapeño."

Did you know that Enchiladas originated in Mexico, where the practice of rolling tortillas around other food dates back at least to Mayan times. The people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate corn tortillas folded or rolled around small fish. It is believed the creation of the enchilada is at the very minimum of the 1500s, but likely goes back thousands of years prior to that. The first written documentation that explicitly discusses enchiladas happens to also be the first cookbook published in Mexico, El cocinero mexicano (“The Mexican Chef”). This was produced in 1831.
