Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Chili powder - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Coconut flour - 1/4 cup
• Egg - 1 large
• Cheddar cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Tomato sauce - 200 grams
• Chicken broth - 100 ml

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet, cooking until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper, mixing well. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, egg, and a pinch of salt to create a dough for the enchilada wrappers.
6. Shape the dough into 2-3 thin tortillas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and firm.
7. In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce and chicken broth, bringing to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes to combine flavors.
8. Assemble the enchiladas by placing the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
9. Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the enchiladas, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
10. Bake in the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
