Recipe Notes
You can use 1 or 2 of each pepper and the onion. It depends on how many enchiladas you’re making. Or, if you love lots of veggies, use 2 each.
Flour or corn tortillas can be used in this recipe, so use corn tortillas if you prefer. I make this recipe with keto-friendly, low-carb flour tortillas.
Calories are approximate and vary depending on which tortillas you use and are based on one serving of two enchiladas.
Optional: Top with slices of Swiss cheese.
