This dish references a Mexican favorite, enchiladas, with much fewer carbs than the original dish. This version is more stew-like and makes a delicious (and quick) winter meal.

Dice half the onion and mince the garlic. Plug your Instant Pot in and set to sauté. Sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent.

Add the chili powder, cumin and cayenne and stir. Sauté until fragrant. Hit the cancel button to turn off.
