Low Carb Enchiladas

I love Mexican dishes, but as a vegetarian on a low-carb diet, it can be a challenge trying to create a Mexican meal from beans.

But, I'm nothing if not persistant. I wanted a low carb enchilada that was filled with low carb chilli, so that is what I made. The secret to these is the choice of beans. Often in Mexican cooking you will use kidney beans and pinto beans. These are both high carb beans with low fibre. But the haricot bean, that's only 2g net carbs per 400g can. Perfect!
