About this recipe

These Budget Keto Enchiladas are a delicious and cost-effective way to enjoy a classic dish while sticking to your keto lifestyle. With homemade egg wraps instead of traditional tortillas, this recipe is gluten-free and low in carbs, making it a great option for meal prep or a quick dinner.

In this video, KetoFocus shows how to whip up these enchiladas for less than $1.50 per serving, proving that eating keto doesn't have to break the bank.

Ingredient notes

4 cups of egg whites is equivalent to 32 eggs, which is cheaper to buy as liquid egg whites than whole eggs.
You can substitute xanthan gum with 1/2 cup of protein powder if desired, but xanthan gum is the more cost-effective choice.
Buy block cheddar cheese instead of pre-shredded for better quality and to avoid anti-caking agents.

Tips from KetoFocus’s video

Blend the egg whites and xanthan gum until smooth and frothy to create the wraps.
Cook the egg wraps in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, ensuring to spray with oil first for easy flipping.
Use canned enchilada sauce for simplicity and flavor, as making your own can be more expensive.

The recipe

Serves 16 servingsTime 15 minutes

Ingredients

4 cups egg whites — equivalent to 32 eggs
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
3 pounds ground beef
16 oz cheddar cheese, grated — buy block cheese instead of pre-shredded for better quality
28 oz canned enchilada sauce

Steps

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a blender, combine 4 cups of egg whites and 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum. Blend until smooth and frothy.
3
Spray a non-stick skillet with oil and pour in enough egg mixture to cover the bottom. Cook over medium-low heat until you can easily slide a spatula underneath, then flip and cook for a few more minutes. Repeat until all egg wraps are made.

In a large skillet, add 3 pounds of ground beef and cook over medium-high heat until browned. Season with salt.
5
Add about 1/2 cup of canned enchilada sauce to the beef and mix well.
6
Pour a splash of enchilada sauce on the bottom of an 8x10 baking dish.
7
Take an egg wrap, scoop in some beef mixture, and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat until you have filled 8 enchiladas.
8
Pour more enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with additional cheese.
9
Assemble the remaining enchiladas in another baking dish.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
