So simple and very yummy! I usually don't like enchies with flour torts but these were great. Just spicy enough. I had some thick pork chops that were rather dry to salvage and this was perfect. Great for leftover pork, would be even better with a shredded pork roast. Used unsweetened baking chocolate and mexican blend cheese. Added about a tablespoon of cheese to each enchie cause I was afraid my leftover pork was too dry on its own. I was really surprised just how good the sauce was, and so quick and simple to put together. Used a hand blender to puree directly in the pot. Thanks for sharing the recipe! I'll make this one again!
