Equipment

  • baking dish 6 by 12
  • Large bowl
  • Can opener
  • hand held mixer

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken breast pre cooked *see optional cooking instructions below. The chicken needs to be shredded, I like to use a handheld mixer to shred it.
  • 6 whole siete almond flour burritos This is my favorite grain free tortilla brand, feel free so sub them out for other tortillas.
  • 16 ounces Kite Hill cream cheese This is equal to 2 containers. If you are not dairy free you can use regular cream cheese. I love this brand because it is made from almond cream and so delicious. 
  • 30 ounces enchilada sauce 2 cans

OPTIONAL:

  • 6 ounces canned black olives
  • guacamole
  • fresh cilantro to garnish
  • fresh chives

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Cut the burritos into fourths. Then, add the almond cream to a bowl and use handheld mixer to shred the chicken (this is my secret shredding trick). Set the burritos aside. In a separate bowl open up the enchilada sauce.

  • In a large casserole pan, add a layer of the enchilada sauce, then add 4 of the burrito pieces (it is ok if they overlap a bit), now add a layer of enchilada sauce, almond cream, chicken and olives (if desired.) Repeat this step until you run out of ingredients. Be sure to save enough enchilada sauce to pour overtop so that it does not dry out.

  • Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. We like to serve this dish with fresh cilantro, chives, and guacamole.

Notes

*To cook your chicken breasts, either put them in an instant pot on HIGH pressure for 8 minutes with 2 cups of water or cook on the stovetop with 2 cups of water. If cooking on the stovetop, cook for 5 minutes on each side on medium heat or until the center is not pink.
