[David Baxter]

I love burritos and enchiladas and this recipe looks relatively easy to make.

Unfortunately, my digestive system often reacts poorly to ground meats (so many of my old favorite meals had to be added to my "do not eat" list after my colon surgery in 2014) but I might give this one a try. Maybe I could try taking Lomotil before eating them and see if that works.

Thanks for posting this, Daniel. It looks delicious!

~ Dan Aykroyd
