Mexican food is my most favorite food. Is there anything better than tortillas and cheese? Throw some guacamole and a cold corona in there and I'm good for a long time.

The fact that mexican food consists of two very important things, both which are not allowed on paleo, makes consuming mexican food tricky.

I'm so sick of making chicken in lettuce cups and calling them tacos. Those are not tacos. That is chicken and lettuce. Then, my eyes opened to the world that is paleo tortillas. Whole Foods became my best friend when I found these babies. They are my perfect solution to my strong need for mexican food.

Once I found those, I knew I had to make enchiladas. Needless to say, I won the wife of the week award when Adam came home and found these babies in the oven. Warning --> they are a little harder to eat because they tend to fall apart easier, but hey it's mexican food and I am happy.

I used my old enchilada recipe and just subbed out the things that aren't considered paleo. Most enchilada sauces are semi-paleo so if you don't want to make your own, just check the ingredients, you are probably very close!

Or, even better, follow my recipe! (selfless plug -- I can't help myself). Without further ado -->

Cinco De Mayo is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. This battle was significant in that the 4000 Mexican soldiers were greatly outnumbered by the well-equipped French army of 8000 that had not been defeated for almost 50 years. Second, since the Battle of Puebla, no country in the Americas has subsequently been invaded by any other European military force.
