- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2024
- Join us for a low carb recipe remake! Today, we tackle a favorite recipe for Enchiladas Suizas, also called Enchiladas Suisse. This delicious, creamy, casserole-style dish easily lends itself to a low carb version with a few alterations from the original recipe.
The original recipe comes from the popular cookbook "Some Like It South!" by the Junior League of Pensacola. You can find out more about the Junior League and the cookbook at www.juniorleag...
For this low carb version, we needed to replace the tortillas with a low carb alternatives. You can use a commercial low carb tortilla if that fits in your diet plan and goals. Otherwise, we recommend using the popular Low Carb Tortilla recipe from Keto Connect. It can be found at www.ketoconnec...

Wes, this is not only the best low carb recipe I've ever made, it's in my top 5 favorite ANY recipes of all time. Truly - they were so dang delicious, and the homemade tortillas knocked it out of the park! Please keep on with the awesome show.
Wow! Thanks, Jesse! I really appreciate that you stopped back by to let us know how it went. That’s the best compliment ever! 👍👍
@@HighfalutinLowCarb Mission tortillas have 0 net carbs tortillas & they are better than the original ones.
Suggestion for the sauce: take the water you would add to the heavy cream, heat it in the microwave, and dissolve the bouillon cubes in that. Then simply mix that with the cream when you're ready to pour over the enchiladas. Then you don't need to heat the cream and worry about it scalding.
I would like to report that I made this dish tonight... I made the Keto Connect tortillas (my pan made 13 but I used 11) and followed your recipe. They turned out great, the tortillas don't taste eggy, and there was plenty of sauce... I would make them again but add more flavor in the meat mixture. I paired this with Spanish Cauliflower Rice and Garlic Green Beans and it was a great low carb meal.
Mexican cuisine has changed drastically over the last 50 to 75 years. What my grandfather ate at his ranch in Matehuala, SLP back in the 30s and 40s is not what people are eating nowadays. My grandfather tells me the foods they used to eat and how it was prepared and its nothing like today. Most things were cooked in lard and their corn tortillas were not sweet corn like nowadays. It was really Indian corn which has less carbs and more fiber. They ate quelites, nopalitos, verdolagas and many other native plants. Their meat was fresh and usually killed the same day. They didnt drink cokes until the late 60s and 70s. My grandfather is 94 and strong as a horse. All his brothers and sisters have lived over 95yrs. If you want to make that chicken a little more flavorful add a little comino/cumin. Just a pinch goes a long way. Otherwise those look awesome and Ill probably make them next week! Oh and tourist have brought everything from cheese, beer and accordions to Mexico for at least 150yrs. Saludos from Dallas, Texas.
Frank Faz I was happy to read your comment. My family is from SLP too and I agree that food in Mexico has totally changed.
This is a wonderful post, Frank! Thank you for sharing! It reminds me of stories from my own grandparents who lived on their farms and raised most of what they ate. Both animals and vegetables. Times were so different then, which is why they had such wonderful long lives. Our modern conveniences are slowly killing us! Thanks again for the beautiful and thoughtful comment. Your grandfather sounds like an amazing man. 💜
Frank Faz, thank you for your comments. I appreciate your perspective. I think there are MANY cultures, not only US culture, who have given up authenticity for convenience.
Frank Faz i get so excited when people are from Matehuala! Lol. My grandparents and parents are from there too!
piinktechnoL0V3 I know right, me too! Hehe My grandparents are from a ranch North of Matehuala called Guadalupe de los Faz. I have two uncles that live in Matehuala so we go often. Saludos desde Dallas, Texas. ✌✌
I'm gonna date myself here, but I can't resist: the Galloping Gourmet has gone nuthin' on you! What a delight you are, a confection that never disappoints, you always deliver. You're a gift to us all.
Wow, Beth! Thank you! I loved watching Galloping Gourmet on PBS as a kid. Thanks so much for the kind words of support! 💜💜💜
@@HighfalutinLowCarb my favorite PBS cook was Justin Wilson i gae-ran-tee!
I live in Mexico and many ingredients we cannot get here...but WE GOT THESE! I have binge watched your channel and your humor is so appreciated! You make it appetizing by presentation and you make it easy to follow. Muchas Gracias senor
Thank you, Barbara! I really appreciate the kind words! Welcome aboard!
Made these tonight. Easy & Excellent. Only change I made was that I followed Joe Duff’s tortilla recipe off his TH-cam channel, as they were only 1.5 grams of carbs. Love, love, love your channel and how you compare recipes. Saves me so much time!
Gosh Darn! You're funny and informative and it's obvious you just so enjoy what you're doing. and I appreciate you **SO** much!
Well, thank you, Lil' Bit! I appreciate the kind words of support! 👍💜
Where have you been all my life? I have tried to eat low carb in the past but end up stopping because I just can't stand to eat another bite of steak and broccoli. A couple of weeks ago my doctor advised that I am pre-diabetic and had to eat low carb, exercise, lose weight and come back in 6 months. I decided that I have GOT to try to find better low carb recipes, got on TH-cam and there you were! I adore you!!!!! Thank you so much for the time you put into this! Because of you I am going to be able to make this new try on low carb work! It's been less than 2 weeks and I have already lost 9lbs! I am now one of your newest and biggest fans!
The Lean Cuisine Enchilidas Suizas was one of my lunch staples pre-keto. Can't wait to try a keto version!
I know EXACTLY which ones you mean! LOL
Got the book, and making these today for husband's birthday, 86 years + anniversary, 49 years.
Thank you so much!
I just tried this recipe and I gotta tell ya, it's a BIG hit in my house! I made it with dairy free half-and-half with no cheese, and it was still incredible. I doubled the recipe and it was gobbled up by my family in no time. The filling is so good that I was stealing bites out of the pan before it even made it into the tortillas!
So glad that here in the UK food labels are accurate by law and everything is labled by 100gms so we know that hwc has 2.6gms carbs per 100gms, we measure everything in grams not cups more accurate
ABSOLUTELY! I agree 100% (You can take my inches and ounces and pounds out of my cold, dead hands, but you are 100% right!) LOLOL 😜😜😜
I agree too. I'm an American who feels it would be SO much easier if we matched the rest of the entire world. Sadly, we grew up using OUR OWN system and now it's stuck in our brains for eternity. Permanently internationally disabled.
Mandy Lovett It is my understanding that listed carbs in the UK actually net carbs. So you cant subtract listed fiber from the carbs shown.
Palladio 747 that is correct
Sanborn is a Mexican department store. Their cafe is famous for the enchiladas and their waiters/waitresses wear Mexican garb. A tourist must in the big cities. Will try this. Thanks Wesley!
That's so fun to know! Thanks for commenting and sharing!
Tried this recipe about a week ago and just now got a minute to say, "Thank You"!! It was dee-licious and a big hit. It's now on the menu regularly. So grateful to have found you early in our Keto journey! We appreciate the hard work you put into your videos.
Awesome! Thanks, Pat Poythress! 👍👍👍
OMG I made this last night for dinner. I used store bought low carb tortillas. My husband and son were crazy about it. I almost had them take me to a Mexican restaurant, but decided I would not break Keto and make this instead. They got refried beans and tortilla chips, but I just ate two of the enchiladas. So filling and so wonderful. Thank you for another fantastic recipe.
more credible, normal person, and fun, than most tv cooking shows! thanks so much!
I am excited to report that my husband’s A1C dropped from over 14 (it was off the chart-chart only goes to 14!) to 9.3 in one month (yes, it’s a 3-month measurement but the doctor re-tested after a month). This is in no small part because of all of the recipes and valuable information Wes shares! I have made no less than 5 meals from this channel (most more than once!) and my husband has stopped treating his diabetes like a punishment, and now understands that living life in the low carb realm is enjoyable and fulfilling. Thank you for your continued efforts, Wes. You have helped me save my husband’s life. Seriously.
I am on week 2 of Keto, I have been BINGE watching your videos since I google searched shirataki noodles and stumbled onto your channel. You have the most genuine and warm personality, an absolute joy to watch you videos!
Thank you so much, Lady Lohrey! Good luck and welcome aboard! ❤️👍
Lady Lohrey lol. That was my gateway video too.
Well said! Couldn't have said it better. :). New subscriber here.
20:30 .... I totally LIVE for your taste test reactions ! soo funny 😜😂🤣
Remember, when you get your Food Network show, that I adored you from the beginning. 😂 Making these tomorrow! Thank you!
I really enjoy your authenticity, and kudos on how much your cinematography has improved since you started
Thank you so much, Douglas. Means so much to hear. 👍👍👍
Yes been waiting for one of ur videos again I’m obsessed with your charisma and honesty. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you so much! I means a lot to hear people like what I'm doing here. 💜💜
I need to be doing more soul searching when I'm grocery shopping.
THIS comment wins! LOL 👍
I absolutely LOVE your enthusiasm for food lol! I totally do the same thing when I eat 😂 I will put this recipe on my list to try! It looks amazing!
Thanks, Rebecca! There are very few things I get as excited about as food! LOL
I love the expression that you get on your face when you make something that is delicious. It is priceless!
As always you've moved it up to the next level with your cooking skills, however my favourite part of the video is when you taste test 😁 want to rewatch it over and over again
Haha! Thank you, Kimiya! People often tell me I “wear my feelings on my face.” I guess they are right! LOL Thanks so much for watching and commenting! ❤️👍
Just made this tonight...sooo yummy!!! A couple adjustments I made was I added some cream cheese and a handful of the shredded swiss to the cream sauce, I added some cumin, oregeno and smoked paprika to the chicken filling because I love seasonings! Tends to kick things up a notch! Then topped with tomatoes, sour cream and our favorite hot sauce. Thanks for sharing you have really helped make the low carb life flavorful! ❤
best. reaction. ever! haha 😂 the clap killed me! great video as always! 💜
LOL! Sometimes, I just lose all control when it's that good! 😜
I grew up in Mexico and every now and then we'd go to Sanborns. I'd always order enchiladas suizas! The best!
I'm turning his movements after tasting into a new dance!!!🤣🤣🤣 I just love this guy and can't wait to try this recipe!!!!! Just awesome!!!👏👏👏
Bwahahaha! Love this!
I am yelling at the screen saying "I KNEW IT!!" when you started talking about the carbs in Heavy Whipping Cream LMBO - I just love you
Your videos are not just fun and entertaining, you're really providing useful info. Don't ever stop!
Thank you, Dax! I appreciate the support! 👍👍
OMG Wes, Shame on you between this recipe and the Taco's i could get into trouble fast mister.You are so fun to watch and you don't play when it comes to food. I love that you break it down to the very last carb no sliding carb's in with seasonings and turning a blind eye to them and honest about the taste.I still go back and watch the cloud bread when your flip it off when i need a laugh. I for one didn't know about the heavy cream as I'm sure other people didn't either. Thanks for being you we Love ya.
Glad to be of help! Thanks so much for all the kind words. 💜
That's absolutely miraculous that you can lower the carbs that much. The dish turned out to be about a 1:1 ratio of Fat to Protein & Net Carbs. Amazing. It was still filled with wonderful savory ingredients and if you wanted to increase the Fat part 0of the ratio jus top with sour cream and/or guacamole. Throw on a few olives too to garnish. Thank you very much for another great recipe!
Yes, enchiladas suizas did begin in San or s in Merida, Yucatán. Yes cream and cheeses, quesos Oaxaca, chichuaua, manchego are Mexican cheeses.
I've actually eaten Enchiladas Suizas from Sanborn's in Mexico City in the past. They were wonderful! As soon as you started this video, I was instantly transported back to that trip. Looking forward top to trying this recipe!
What a great memory! Thanks for watching and commenting, Shannon!
Enchilada badassery. Once again.. you reign supreme. Thank you, Wesley! I'm in Texas, so I'm going to have to add some Jalapenos on top. Love you!
LOL! Well thank you, April! And yes, jalapeños!! Yum! 💜💜
Thank you so so much for the trouble you go too. You help all of us sooo much. The easy step by step way you show us is fabulous. I can tell you have a very kind and sweet spirit. Again thank you for making it so much easier to find out to see if we want to prepare a recipe or not. With the prices of groceries now days, you help me to know if i want too or not to be out the money to buy the stuff to prepare a recipe. Again "thank you so much"
Thank you for the kind words, Wanda! ❤️
The Yucatan was settled by lots of folk from the Netherlands during the Spanish occupation. There was a great deal of cultural exchange between them and the indigenous population. It is very common to see Edam and Gouda used in traditional recipes hundreds of years old.
This is great to know! Thanks for sharing, cdvax11! ❤️👍
Not really. I've no doubt that some settled there but the last names have not survived, as English last names (from pirates) HAVE survived. The fact is that both Spanish and Maya really loved their Swiss cheese. From that mestizaje came Yucatecan cuisine. They traded Sisal fibre and produce for a lot of European goods. But definitely cheese.
In the 80’s and 90’s I collected Junior League Cookbooks! They always have yummy recipes! ❤️
These are my favorite enchiladas I've ever had - high OR low carb! I made them last week and immediately turned around and made a double batch again today! Thank you!! Love your show!
I enjoy your videos!! I am a southerner, too (I have lived in central Florida all of my life). My husband is still not completely sold on the low carb way of eating, but these enchiladas are right up his alley. I watched your cornbread battle; splurged and ordered the sweet corn extract, because, lord, I need some cornbread to go with my pot liquor when I make collard greens. Keep up the excellent work!!
Hahahaaa! I thanked you out loud and leaned in close when you held it up to the ceiling camera...OMG!
Gawd these look delicious! I've tried making the Keto Connect tortillas with little success, this recipe will get me to try making again. Thanks for doing so much of the leg work for us low carb eaters!
These are SO good! I've had great success with the Keto Connect recipe lately. Biggest tip is to buy a carton of 100% egg whites (NOT "Egg Beaters".) The egg whites in the carton seem to be more liquid-y than fresh egg whites, and this helps the consistency. I also add a couple extra tablespoons of water to the recipe. Nonstick pan, coconut oil spray, medium heat, 1/4 c. measure, rotate pan to cover, flip in 2 minutes. Let me know if you try them again!
Thank you very much for the tips. I did use fresh whites instead of the carton ones so maybe that was the reason. I'll definitely attempt them again and report back!
i'm joining the chorus of folk saying how great this recipe tastes although I "cheated" and used store bought whole wheat low carb tortillas. Here's a tip: dissolve the bouillon in the 1/2 cup of water before adding to the cream. Thank you so much for working this out. This is good enough to serve at dinner parties. And it looks so elegant. No one would ever guess it's low carb or even question it. And, I can't believe how easy it was.
cdvax11 (
Wes, you are my hero. Enchiladas Suizas are my favorites. This would also be great as a casserole without the tortillias. Thank you for converting this to a LC version.
I don't even like enchiladas but I love me some Wesley so I clicked off the KetoConnect video I was watching as soon as my notification popped up. lol.
Ha! Thanks, Heather!! To be honest, I am not a fan of "regular" enchiladas with the red sauce, either. These are so creamy and good. I can't get enough of them! LOL
Mmm, I hadn't gotten to the cream sauce yet. That looks amazing !
I love that you love food! It makes me feel less guilty, cause lord knows I love me good food 🤗
No need to feel guilty about good food! LOL
Turned out great! I used the crepes from Costco, 0 carb made of cauliflower and egg whites. They were to thin so I doubled up. I coated them with a tiny bit of taco spice before putting the cream. I added 1 Tablespoon of the corn flavoring you recommended, the amoretti, to the cream and it made the whole dish smell/ taste better ( I don’t really love these crepes, so that covered them up). Came out great! Thank you so much!
I recently discovered you and ADORE YOU! Thank you for not only giving us great low carb wisdom and recipes, but for being so ding dang lovable with your enthusiasm when you bite in to your creations! Just wanted you to know your hard work is appreciated!
Thank you so much, shp! That means the world to hear. Welcome aboard! ❤️👍
@@HighfalutinLowCarb )
So with this I learned that enchiladas is just Mexico for what we call pancakes um Brazil (really thin batter, roll up your filling, put It in a tray, cover up with sauce - usually tomato - add cheese and bake). Its really good! Grew up eating them and could go for some right now!
Looks delish! So happy whenever I get notified there is a new video from you! Thank you and stay adorable.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Keykers!
I’m abscessed with you! I love your videos. You bring me joy and inspire me to cook healthy. Thanks me for distracting me during this difficult time. You are like watching a good friend having a good time and talking to me with understanding ❤️
You are the Emeril Lagasse of the keto world. I loved watching his show and I love watching yours.
This looks so delicious there might even be hope of my children actually eating it. It’s going to be my next recipe to try! Even though, I’ve been watching your channel while I’ve been unwell just for the entertainment. You’re delightful!
Thank you, Amber! I love hearing that. Let me know what you and this kiddos think if you make this one! 👍
*Your enchiladas look so delicious and satisfying. Thanks for providing a guilt-free option for my favorite dish!*
Love your videos Wesley! This recipe looks delicious, I am definitely going to make this recipe. As an fyi, I eat the original Sanborns recipe all the time. You would love them. Sanborns is a chain, kinda like Denny's. Their recipe is actually made with tomatillos, chile poblano and La Suiza brand sour cream. That's why it's called Enchiladas Suizas. No tomatoes. Anyway, if you're ever in Baja California, I'll take you to Sanborns. Keep up the great work!!
Ok... just saw the look on your face after tasting. Gonna have to make those tonight.
Hi, Yoli! Something tells me I could do some damage in a Sanborn’s. LOL! Thanks for commenting and sharing!! ❤️❤️
The look on your face after you try it is the best ever! Love it lol!
You are 100% correct. 1 cup of heavy whipping cream has exactly (depending on brand but really close all across the board) of 3.3 carbs per cup.
I made the keto connect tortillas for lunch today and planned on making tacos for dinner but I watched this and I'm currently making enchiladas (I substituted ground beef)
I love it when a plan comes together! LOL
How were their tortillas? Were they good? (Being raised in a home where my mom made her tortillas from scratch, I can admit that I’m unfortunately a bit of a pretentious snob with tortillas, but I need to find a good low carb substitute!) Thanks!
It's a vessel 😂 I personally use lettuce cups for my tacos because these were a bit disappointing when you're use to a nice soft corn tortilla (they work pretty good for enchiladas ) They have ZERO flavor
Thank you!
Jessica Russell I would think lettuce cups would fall apart in the oven. What type of lettuce do you use? I personally would rather have that than low carb tortillas
Hi from Thunder Bay! This is wow! Just made these enchiladas and oh my goodness my second favourite recipe of yours! The first was the spaghetti squash chicken casserole👍👍I really like the keto connect soft tortillas as well! I have to admit, it took me a few fails to get the technique down, but they are delicious and simple to make! Happy Summer Wes and thank ya you all! 😊😊😊
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Your videos are fantastic, entertaining and informative. Please don't listen to the haters! KEEP POSTING!!
Thanks, Erik! I appreciate the kind words of support! No plans of stopping anytime soon! 👍👍
Your expressions to this dish is adorbs! I LOVE green chiles and can't wait to make this myself. Thanks for sharing and all your hard work.
I love the recipes that you put on your web sight and you are so honest about how they taste so it makes it that you want to try it all
G'morning my highfalutin TH-camr!
Love your vids! You make me so happy, I smile the whole time!
Thank you, Groovy Hippie Chick! That makes me smile to hear that! :-)
I made this past weekend. Didn’t just the keto recipe for the tortillas, but used low carb tortillas from the store. Still IH MY GOD DELICIOUS!!! Thanks for sharing!! Wipp try this version again!
OMG I love your videos. Got so excited when I saw you had just uploaded!
Love to hear that! Thanks, Why Lie! 💜💜
You, dear sir, are amazing! You make cooking SO much fun! :D
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching and commenting, Chris! 👍👍
I was listening to this while I cooked. I kept hearing a beep and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from! It took awhile to figure out it was from your video!
I did get to see your new kitchen area. Very nice.
Hi...I live in Denver Colorado and I have been watching your videos. I like everything that you make, thank you. I love when you taste the food, the way you make your face and the way you express yourself. Keep it up!....the enchiladas 👍👍👍👏👏👏wow!...
Thank you so much, Abigail! Those enchiladas are delicious, if I do say so myself! 😜❤️
I've been making Ketoconnect's tortillas for a year now and using them in the recipe they call Breakfast Enchiladas. I can't tell the difference between them and regular corn or flour tortillas in taste, when made in a dish. I can't wait to try this! I'll make it tomorrow. Thank you! I love your videos.
Oh my Southern Goodness she says as she drools, Wesley this is insane!!! I agree about red vs. white Enchiladas, this was a wonderful video, fun and yet professional! Thanks
I made this recipe today including the low carb tortillas and it was so good. This recipe is a keeper.
Thank you for this recipe. Your video's are so entertaining not to mention real & informative. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate the kind words, Linda! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just made this and O.M.G. The dish is out of this world!!!
As always Weslie, "your hilarious"!...I can't wait to try this recipe ...I love keto life style.
Thank you, Edna! Always appreciate you watching and commenting! ❤❤❤
Good information on the powdered onion I don't think I really knew that about being exempt! That just looks so delicious!! I love your video!🤗
Thank you, Kim!
Looks great!! Good info on the cream! Thank you for all the time you put into your videos, it really shows!!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the words of support! 💜
I am definitely making this after church Sunday.. need to come down to Tampa. Love watching you.. your expressions are awesome.
You have the best channel I get bored with some of the others but yours is pure entertaining and I am learning a lot from you ,great video,keep up the good work,you should have your own cooking channel on tv.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words of support. ❤️👍🏻
Made this for dinner tonight and I have to admit, I cheated and used store bought low carb tortillas, but oooweee! This is a great recipe. We loved it. I wholeheartedly agree about salting the filling. The sauce is plenty salty so I’m glad I didn’t add any to the filling.
Yay! Ain’t nothing wrong with a low carb tortilla every once in a while! Glad you liked it! 👍👍❤️❤️
Highfalutin' Low Carb Highfalutin' Low Carb Yep-Was planning on making the Keto Connect tortillas, but just didn’t have enough hours in the day. I even have their cookbook. Oh well...Next time! Thanks again for the recipe! 💜
Thanks to you I have made keto connect tortillas shells a few times now. And I’ve referred several friends to your channel. Keep on doing what you do 💜💜💜
OMG we made these last night and they were out of this world. Next time we will use shrimp and seafood broth ! Awesome.
You can search for mexican enchiladas suizas recipes and compare. That one looks, so much hard work, so different from the simple version we have in Monterrey, Mexico.
If someone wants to reign in the fat and calories, switch the sauce (just tomatillo with little onion, cilantro and bouillon cube). You also can have just shredded chicken. Don´t need to use all that seasoning, just... salt. Maybe onion while it cooks, but just shredded chicken is ok. The star of the recipe is the sauce.
When I was about 6 (1996), Enchiladas suizas was my favourite meal. My nana made them with tomatillo verde, mexican cream and any cheese. Swiss cheese, manchego cheese, gouda cheese (gouda is my favourite). I had these every Tuesday for lunch.
My mum around 2010, tasted a creamier version heavier on fat, it had cream cheese. She added a bouillon cube, onion, and cilantro to the sauce. That´s it. Everyone asks for seconds and thirds when she makes these enchiladas.
Also, fried the tortilla before placing the chicken. Fry it, some shredded chicken, roll it and sauce and cheese. Microwave results (1-2 min) are better than oven because it doesn´t dehydrates as much.
Because I´m cutting some fat (moderate fat and no carbs), I just dip it in the sauce on both sizes before rolling it.
You can also make a lasagna of sorts with this sauce, chicken and tortillas. I think it´s called Pastel Azteca.
Sometimes I make cauili rice and cover it with the sauce, it´s so good.
Hope your doing better! This looks awesome. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks, Nancy! Doing well here, just been an incredibly busy May! :-)
You sir, should have your own TV Cooking show. I am hoping Food Network or the Cooking Channel soon embraces Keto and offers you, Dot2trot and The Keto Chef your own shows. You all seem so comfortable in front of the camera and share critical information to enlighten us all as we attempt to prepare our low carb meals. Please keep the videos and recipe battles coming!
That's such a wonderful compliment! Thank you! 💜💜
My hubby made these for us this week after seeing this video. They were super tasty! Thanks for yet another great vid, Wes.
Hey Wes, many years ago I was importing antiques from Mexico. I was shocked to learn that Mexico has had many major migrations from Europe! - German, French, even Chinese, and they all brought "stuff" from their countries. I ate at a Swiss Pastry Shop in Mexico City that would have blown your mind. I know! Who would have thunk it?
Thank you for the info on carbs and labeling with spices and heavy whipping cream. Thats all new information to me.
You are so awesome my fiance looks at your videos now. He loves the test kitchen setup you have and he thinks it's great that there are other individuals trying to better there health with fresh clean eats. Thanks for the vids keep them coming. Thanks again!!!
Soooo can't wait to try... Your expressions are awesome! 😉
Ha! Thanks, Erin!
Yummm! And this is really low-carb??
Indeed it is! Great seeing you around here, Doc. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I watch both of you, I’m going to try this tonight
Is this a high fat food? How many calories?
Miz Starr - he read the macros out and showed them in the video. Go to 22:44.
Dr. Berry, SO good to see you watching these good recipes and great Keto chefs! Seeing you commenting on Wes' page is fantastic, making you so approachable! His recipes are delicious and very Keto friendly. Wes is super good at accounting for each carb so you can feel very safe using his recipes when watching carbs. This combines my favorite Dr. and my favorite chef!
Oh......my.......stars!!!! THAT is an incredible recipe!!!!!! Just made it and devoured it. I can't wait for the leftovers tomorrow! Wow!!! Thank you so much!!!
Future Wes, you make my heart sing with laughter. Your food is very good and you are great. Thank you!
I second your comment about store bought tortillas. For a few years, I’ve been using Mission Low Carb Tortillas, like multiple times per week. I recently did a blood glucose test after eating one. Wow, it spiked like I couldn’t believe, I went from 105 to 180 in 90 min.
This is the first dish I'm making when I'm done with this carnivore trial.🍖🍗 (If I ever come back from the dark side LOL) I'm always sharing your video on the hidden carbs because they are there and labeling laws are getting away with it. Love all your videos, keep them coming 😊😊😊😊
Thanks, Stars! I'm exited to hear more about your carnivore experiment! I'm heading over to your channel now to watch your latest video about it. ⭐⭐⭐
I really need to do an updated video on carnivore because I am on week 5 and going strong and the weight is dropping now, where as in the beginning it didn't. I feel amazing!!
Just found you by accident, and boy, am I happy I did. Love you and your recipes, plus your presentation, adorable!!!! Keep 'em comin'.
I love people who love food and I really love you! I’ve only had enchiladas with the red sauce which I really enjoy. I can’t wait to try these. They look delicious.
Thanks, Joan! If you try these, come back and let us know what you thought!
I absolutely love your reaction while eating these. You are so amusing and I love your show!
Ha! Thanks, Ang! 😉
Your personality and chef skills are second to none. You are really adorable and someone I would love as a best friend , because you are pure joy! I laughed so hard at your expressions while trying these enchiladas, and I realized I never should have watched on an empty stomach because I literally could taste them thanks to your expressions! Take as long as you need to post more videos, because we're so lucky to have you! I would gladly watch you weekly on network tv! Thanks for all the fun!!
