Lupita’s from Sonora and loves red chile. Mike is from New Mexico and loves Hatch green. The only way they make it work is to make both, haha!
If it’s just green and red, it’s called Christmas stye. If it’s red, green, and cheese (or sour cream!) it’s tricolor — matching the colors of the Mexican flag!
Enchiladas tricolores are a celebration of flavors, colors, and textures. Red, green, and cheese topped! Beef, chicken and cheese filled! Everyone is a winner!
So, why not embark on a low-carb culinary adventure and try your hand at making enchiladas tricolores? Your taste buds will thank you, and you'll discover a new favorite dish that will bring joy to your table time and time again. And with Sonora Keto Tortilla Mix for the tortillas, you can afford the carb count!
