Comfort Food with a Non-Toxic Twist
Some meals are just made to bring people together, and enchiladas are one of them. There’s something about warm tortillas stuffed with seasoned chicken, gooey cheese, and a blanket of tangy salsa verde that feels like pure comfort. This version keeps things simple while sticking to non-toxic principles—organic chicken, raw dairy, and almond flour tortillas instead of processed options. The result is a dish that tastes indulgent but supports your health at the same time.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, baked and shredded
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups shredded raw cheddar cheese
- 12 almond flour tortillas (such as California brand)
- ½ cup sour cream (about 1 tsp per tortilla)
- 1 jar salsa verde (12–16 oz)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, chipotle chili powder, and garlic powder. Bake until fully cooked (25–30 minutes), then shred with two forks.
- Toss shredded chicken with shredded raw cheddar cheese until well combined.
- Lower oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 casserole dish. Spread about 1 tsp of sour cream along the center of each tortilla, add a spoonful of the chicken-cheddar mixture, roll up, and place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
- Pour salsa verde evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Bake at 350°F for 20–30 minutes, until hot and bubbling.
- Switch oven to broil (high) and cook for 3–4 minutes, until cheese on top is golden and slightly crispy.
Tips for a Nutrient-Dense Meal
- Choose organic chicken and raw dairy for better quality and fewer toxins.
- Swap sour cream for organic Greek yogurt if you want an extra protein boost.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a squeeze of lime for a fresh finish.
