The image shows a close-up of two rolled tortillas filled with cooked hot dogs, placed side by side on a white plate. The tortillas are topped with a thick layer of chili meat sauce, then covered with melted bright yellow cheddar cheese. Small, chopped green onions are sprinkled on top of the cheese, adding a fresh green contrast. The texture looks cheesy, meaty, and slightly glossy from the melted cheese, with the hot dog ends poking out. The background is a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 pound ground chuck
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup water
8 hot dogs
8 low carb tortillas or wraps
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked ground chuck, diced tomatoes, water, and all spices. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until thickened.
Step 3: Spoon some of the chili sauce into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Step 4: Roll each hot dog in a low carb tortilla and place them seam-side down in the chili sauce layer.
Step 5: Pour the remaining chili sauce evenly over the rolled hot dogs, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is set.
Step 7: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Add your favorite toppings if desired, such as sliced jalapeños or sour cream.

Tips & Variations

Use spicy or smoked sausages instead of hot dogs for a different flavor.
Substitute the ground chuck with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Top with sliced onions, jalapeños, or fresh cilantro for added texture and freshness.
If you prefer a thicker chili, simmer the sauce longer before assembling the casserole.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave until warmed through, or cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.

How to Serve

The enchiladas are covered in a rich brown sauce that looks thick and hearty, with green onion slices scattered on top for color. The edges of the enchiladas are soft with a slightly crispy look, and the sausages are glossy and browned. The white plate sits on a white marbled surface, giving a clean and fresh background.

FAQs

Can I use regular tortillas instead of low carb?

Yes, regular tortillas can be used but this will increase the carbohydrate content of the dish. For a keto-friendly meal, low carb or almond flour tortillas are best.
