4 chicken thighs or 2 chicken breasts-seasoned and roasted in oven, then shredded
1 large can green enchilada sauce
6 large la tortilla low carb corn tortillas or substitute regular large corn tortillas

Roll and place seamside down in pan. Continue with the other 5 tortillas, using all of the chicken but reserving some cheese for top.
