Notes

This tasty little recipe comes from the fine folks over at BBQTalk.ca. I love this guy's videos, and hope to try out a few more of his recipes soon! (BBQ Meatloaf, maybe?)
These are quite rich, be careful! ;-)
Next time i make these, I might add some spanish rice into the enchiladas.
Watch the original YouTube video of the recipe's creator in action.
