Back in 2005 GridironGourmet, a tailgating inspired cooking show, was born while I was cheering forthe Atlanta Falcons. For each show guests would join me in the kitchen to cookone of their favorite recipes. StephanieBlank was scheduled to make one of Arthur Blanks favorite recipes on theshow. She had emailed me the list ofingredients to show prior however didnt send any instructions. A last minute ear ache kept her from filmingwith us so we created our own recipe.The enchiladas turned out phenomenal and I have been making them eversince.
They are a greatrecipe if you want to cook in advance or if you like leftovers these make aton.
