A tasty Mexican dish with added twist of kale. In this enchilada recipe, I replaced the usual flour tortilla with kale. Kale rolls are stuffed with beef, black beans, cheese, sour cream and spices and baked to perfection in our gluten free green enchilada sauce. When you feel like Mexican food, try this scrumptious, healthy gluten and grain free enchilada recipe
