Bricks
"My dad made these for us when we were kids, and it's remained a family favorite. Several years ago I made it for friends from out of state, one of whom said it was incredible but heavy, hence the name "Bricks." If you're looking for traditional Tex-Mex, real enchiladas, this is not the recipe for you. Yes, it's a heart attack on a plate. But what a wonderful way to go..."
