- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, half of the shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and chopped cilantro.
- Spoon the chicken mixture into the low-carb tortillas, roll them up, and place them seam side down in a baking dish.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the almond flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
