Enchilada's Fantasticas

This recipe is near and dear to my heart. It was given to me many YEARS ago by a sweet woman named Betty Toppa. It was one of the 1st recipes I made my new husband after we got married. Betty was an amazing cook and I learned so many tips and tricks from her in addition to getting some delicious recipes. Betty has passed on but every time I make this, I think of her and smile.
