  • 3 Tbsp gluten free flour blend
  • 1 Tbsp low FODMAP taco seasoning**
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chives, chopped or freeze-dried
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

  • 2 cups vegetable broth*
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • Enchiladas:
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chives, chopped or freeze-dried
  • 4 chicken breasts, shredded***
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  • 12 oz baby spinach
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree

Instructions

  1. For the Enchilada Sauce:
  2. Combine all ingredients in the food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. For the Enchiladas:
  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spritz a 9×13 baking dish with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.

  8. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Notes

Inspired by Cookie and Kate’s Homemade Enchilada Sauce
I recommend making this enchilada sauce ahead of time to save on kitchen time and dirty dishes the night you make this dish.
*Make sure broth does not contain garlic or onion if following a low FODMAP diet elimination phase.
**You can use regular taco seasoning here if you are not concerned about FODMAP content.
***I recommend putting these in the slow cooker (nothing added) and cooking at low for 6-8 hours during the day prior to making this dish. You can omit and substitute with beans for a meat-free option, but I haven’t tried that yet. Feel free to experiment away!

This recipe has not been tested for FODMAP content, but the ingredients are used in amounts compliant with recommendations on the Monash University app.
