Many people are fond of Taco Bell's enchirito and enchilada sauces. These sauces can be used on chicken, beef and other dishes to give them a wonderful flavor.

Here is a low carb version of both sauces which is simply DELICIOUS for any Mexican recipes you might create.

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp oil
1 packet Splenda
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/16 tsp cayenne

Mix all together thoroughly and then microwave for 20 seconds on 50% power. Use on your chicken or beef when creating your favorite Mexican dishes.

Some might find the full packet of Splenda to be too sweet. You could try starting with 1/2 packet and tasting the blend, and then adding more to your own taste.

To determine carbs, really, it's only the tomato paste in here that is going to affect you. Look at the tomato paste you are using, to figure out what the 2 Tbsp will equal. It is probably something close to zero.
