We love chicken enchiladas. If I made it every night of the week my husband would be happy! Recently my mother gave me an electric crepe maker. I have made crepes a few times for breakfast and the family loved them and ask for them. Another item if made daily would make the hero. My mom found the recipe book and gave it to me and this is a recipe that I thought sounded really good using my crepe pan.12 corn meal crepes **recipe to follow
