🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – Adds protein to the meal, which can help moderate blood sugar rises and increase satiety.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Low-carb tortillas – Reduces total carbohydrate content, helping to minimize blood glucose spikes.
• Cauliflower rice – Acts as a filler without the high carbs of traditional rice, maintaining a lower glycemic load.
• Zucchini strips – Can replace higher carb layers, adding nutrients and fiber while keeping carbs in check.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Little to no significant change in blood sugar levels.
• 30–60 min: Moderate increase in blood sugar, depending on the content and amount of carbs in the enchilada.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar begins to stabilize as the body processes the meal, especially if low-carb substitutes are used.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Replace the corn tortilla with a low-carb alternative such as a lettuce wrap and choose a sugar-free sauce.
