Tortillas: You can use corn tortillas in this recipe instead of the Low Carb flour tortillas. Most enchilada recipes use corn tortillas but to make it a low-carb option I used low-carb flour tortillas.

Chicken: You can replace the chicken breast with whatever meat you like including beef, pork, and or shrimp. To make them beef use a top round cut of meat and cook for 25 minutes in the Instant Pot pressure cooker.
