Rich and creamy, this keto enchilada sauce is perfect for those Mexican dinners you thought you had to give up! Sugar free, low carb enchilada sauce is naturally gluten free!

Since moving to the Southwest part of the United States, I have noticed one theme: TACOS. It’s practically a food group in Texas. Most of the restaurants here serve breakfast tacos, lunch tacos, dinner tacos, and then there is the weekend tacos.

Our first week here, we decided to be adventurous and try some of the local flavors. The Hubby got these burritos with “gravy” on them. I thought, “oh, that’s interesting. What kind of burrito has gravy on it?” Of course, in my mind, gravy is either beef or chicken broth, and made with a thickening agent, butter and stock. Such a naive Northern girl.

Yeah, as you can probably guess, that wasn’t the case here. It was smothered with enchilada sauce. Gallons and gallons of this rich, red enchilada sauce. As much as I loved it, I knew there had to be a better way to enjoy the flavors.
