SPECIAL INGREDIENT CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
This is a great recipe with something special. The cinnamon addition gives it a great little something that people can't quite figure out. It's that mixture of sweet and spicy flavors that has been so popular at our house and it smells heavenly when heating in the oven. You can also make this dish ahead of time reserving only the cheese. I add the cheese at the last minute and bake it in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes so it can be done even a day ahead. It's also easily doubled and adapted for those who like things a little less spicy.
