This recipe was published in our local newspaper several years ago when Clinton was President. Its supposed to be a dish he loved to make. This paper publishes a lot of famous person's recipes, but this is one of the few I saved because my family likes it a lot. Its too rich for everyday but great for holidays and special ocasions.
One warning: THESE ARE NOT LOW FAT. :)
If he really cooked like this in his earlier years its no wonder he is on a vegan diet now.
Whatever your politics are I think you will find these enchiladas are GOOD. Change the name if you like, but try them. :)
