I did not win the FastPaleo recipe contest I entered last week, but this recipe is still a winner in my books! I've gotten some great feedback from those of you who have tried this recipe. I appreciate each and every one of you who voted for my healthy Beef Enchilada Cabbage Rolls. And yes, the dinner invitation still stands! As promised here is the recipe for you to try or print out and file away for later use! Chicken breast was on sale at our local food co-op a few weeks back and we stocked up, so you know that what that means……Chicken Enchilada Cabbage Rolls are on the menu. In fact, that may be what's for dinner tonight!
