Preheat the oven to 350° then prepare the enchilada sauce.
To make the enchilada sauce:
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the spices and cook them, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes or until they are fragrant.
½ tablespoon Olive Oil, 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin, ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder, ½ tablespoon Chili Powder, ¼ teaspoon Dried Oregano, pinch Cinnamon
Add the tomato sauce, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Continue cooking over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches a boil. After it begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low.
8 oz Tomato Sauce, ½ cup Vegetable Broth, ¼ teaspoon Salt, Black Pepper
Continue simmering the sauce, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently until it has thickened to your liking. Stir in the vinegar and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
To make the enchiladas:
Combine the cooked chicken, tomato sauce, taco seasoning, and black soybeans in a large bowl.
2 lb Cooked and Shredded Chicken, 8 oz Tomato Sauce, ¼ cup Taco Seasoning, 1 can Black Soybeans
Spread about ¼ cup of the prepared enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Set up your assembly station. Place the tortillas on a plate or other food-safe surface. Place the bowls with the chicken mixture, the enchilada sauce, and the 2 cups of the shredded cheese around the tortillas.
12 Low Carb Tortillas, 3 cups Colby Jack Cheese
Add approximately ⅓ to ½ cup of the chicken mixture to the center of a tortilla then add about 2½ tablespoon of the cheese on top of the chicken.
Carefully roll up the tortillas around the filling. Place the filled tortillas seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and meat.
Once all of the tortillas are filled, pour the remaining enchilada sauce down the center of the dish over the filled tortillas, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges of the tortillas are beginning to get crispy.
Serve immediately topped with cilantro, avocado, and sour cream if desired.
Cilantro, Avocado, Sour Cream

I used Tumaro multi-grain carb-wise tortillas which have 3 net carbs each.
