Chef's pro tip
When making these keto enchiladas, be careful not to overstuff the wraps. If you pile on too much filling when making the cheese wraps, you'll have trouble rolling them up, and they might even tear. To keep this from happening, just spread the filling evenly among the wraps and leave a little room at the edges. That way, you can roll them up neatly without losing any of that tasty goodness inside.

Hi,
Looking at you photos, it doesn't seem like you heated the cheese wraps in a skillet as per your instructions. Wouldn't that make the wraps melt? Also, is a serving two or three enchiladas? Your photos imply three, but I thought I read that the recipe serves six people and you are to use 12 cheese wraps (so, two enchiladas per person)..
