One Pan Enchilada Skillet

Simple, quick & easy! Perfect meal to prep for lunch and or dinner! You can use any type of lean meat you prefer, I love chicken or turkey but for this I have chicken on hand!
Ready in 20-30 min and its HIGH protein and filled with tons of veggies!!! Don’t have the veggies listed below? That’s OK, use whatever you have on hand!

Pair it with baked @ cutdacarb chips like i have! #cutdacarbpartner

This flatbread is what I used to cut into squares, sprayed coconut oil spray & uses dairy free NACHO flavored seasoning (my fav!) from Amazon!

@350 for 8 minutes… you get allllll the chips for only 14 carbs! It’s not mexican without those chips, so here’s a great, lower carb, alternative!

You could even make a wrap with the flatbread #crunchwrap and fill it with the Enchilada filling!

Throw it on a salad, on top of rice and or add some falls quash… options are endless!

Ingredients :

Fresh minced garlic or dried works ( about 1/2 TB )

1 sweet yellow onion

Small amount of chicken broth to give flavor / help moisten the veggies while browning

2 bell peppers finely chopped

2 zucchini diced

1 yellow squash diced

1 lb of extra lean ground meat > I used chicken

Frontera Fajita skillet sauce > I used 1/2 or you can use any enchilada sauce ( swipe to see the sauce I used )

Cumin to taste & any other seasonings you wish but the sauce already has some in it

Start by browning the meat in a stock pot or skillet on high heat until browned w/ a little coconut oil spray.

While that is cooking, chop up the onions, peppers, squashes…. Once the meat was cooked through, I set that aside.

Then adding the garlic, about 1/3 cup chicken broth and the diced onion to the pot and browned w/ a little pink salt.

After about 6-8 min, they are browned / more translucent… I add in the rest of the veggies and 1/2 the sauce packet with some ground cumin!

Covered with a lid for 5 min to soften veggies, added in the meat and WALLA!!! 

Serve with fresh cilantro and or chopped green onions to garnish! Some cheese would be a great addition with some sliced avocado as well ;)

I made my own recipe in MFP, weighed the final cooked batch & it came out to 1,212 “servings” in the MFP entry I made. Which = the grams!

Every time I go to eat a portion or pre log it, I will weigh out the “servings” in grams on my food scale and log that. That is the most accurate way to track a bulk recipe!!

200 grams I have found is a great portion > 112 calories (6.9 carbs, 1.2 fat, 19.1 protein)
