Enchiladas are better with Bases

By swapping out the regular tortilla wraps for Lo-Dough bases, you can create equally delicious enchiladas for a fraction of the calories. Lo-Dough bases contain just 39 calories and 2.2g carbs each, and are gluten-free - leaving you more freedom for fillings and cheese! 

Here’s how to make our easy chicken enchiladas: 

Step 1: Add to a tray your enchilada fillings. We’ve used chicken thighs, peppers, onions, mushrooms - seasoned with salt, black pepper, cumin and smoked paprika. Bake for 25 minutes at 200°C
