Chicken/Beef Enchiladas

Does your family like Mexican food as much as we do?  Daniel and I love to eat Mexican dishes, so often times that is what's for dinner!  Last night, we ate this Enchilada dish and it was delicious!  This was not your typical Enchilada dish.  The cinnamon in it gives it a nice flavor.   See the recipe below.  
Enjoy and Happy New Year!

By the way, I welcome any and all feedback concerning my blog and recipes.  I will get better as time goes, but I am still learning how this blogging thing works! :)  I hope this blog becomes very interactive and that we can all learn from each other along the way!  Please let me know if you have any thoughts or questions concerning the recipe.    :)

(from: www.100DaysofRealFood.com)

Ingredients: 

-whole-grain corn tortillas (I used sprouted grain tortillas-see picture below)
-chicken (I used around 1.5 lbs. ground beef in place of the chicken)
-brown rice
-frozen corn kernels
-tomato paste
-chili powder
-ground cumin
-tomato sauce
-cayenne pepper
-ground cinnamon
-*cheese (I used a block of Colby & Monterey Jack cheese)
-sour cream (I prefer plain Greek yogurt, as it has more protein than sour cream)
-cilantro (I used dried cilantro)
-avocado/guacamole


*We prefer block cheese to shredded cheese for many reasons.  Block cheese is creamier, usually cheaper than pre-shredded cheese and doesn't have the anti-caking additive(s).  Also, shredded cheese looks white and "powdery" to me.

These are the tortillas I like to buy.  They are in the frozen section.  See the picture below with the ingredients listed. 

Here are the ingredients list for the tortillas (wish I knew how to rotate this picture,  sorry!)
If it's too small to read here's the list: organic sprouted wheat, filtered water, organic sesame seeds, organic sprouted soybeans, organic sprouted barley, organic sprouted millet, organic sprouted lentils, organic sprouted spelt, sea salt. 

Out of the oven....Yummy!!!

Served with a side of fresh pineapple and red grapes. (I'll eventually learn how to get these pictures rotated)
