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!

How long do you think this sauce would last in the fridge if I made a batch of it up?

Quintina, I would guess the sauce would last a week in a sealed container.

not in my house, this stuff would be unlikely to be in the fridge long enough to get cold :-)

We made this breakfast style this morning with sausage & eggs as a filling. HOLY COW, so good. I'll be posting a recipe (spanish cauli-rice) for it soon and can't wait to spread the word about how good yours was on top of it!

I have that recipe for Mexi "Cauli" Rice. I am in LOVE with it. I feel like I'm eating a carb thing or a hot dish/casserole type thing...... and it does not taste like cauliflower. It's probably my favorite vegetable at present !!

I tried this recipe this week and LOVED it!!! I'm excited to try some more - I was stuck in a rut and needed to find some new allergy friendly meals! Awesome!! The most difficult part of this recipe was separating the cabbage leaves -- any pointers on that?

Just found your website and Love, Love, Love it! And we used your Enchilada sauce last night, delicious! I actually did a taste test and made your recipe and another recipe and yours won hands down! And yours was way easier! Thank you so much! If you don't mind I would like to post a link to your page for the sauce along with the recipe I used it on. Would that be okay? I would give you recognition for the sauce and link it direct to your page. Thanks again for sharing!

Wow, this was awesome! The tip for peeling the cabbage leaves made it really easy, too! I'll bet this would be good with shredded chicken.

This most definitely is good with some shredded spiced up chicken. It is also fabulous with my carnitas inside. So glad you like it!
