Thanks for sharing this it sounds like it would be mui delicioso!
I once had an Appetizer at the Santa Fe Fajita Grill that had refried beans with crawfish in it, it was heavy with garlic and topped with a melted white cheese, I can only say it was "to die for". The crawfish gave it a very good flavor. I tried making it at home my only problem was the frozen crawfish tasted over powering, I probably should have washed them better and cleaned them by soaking a little while in lemon juice & water
then rinsing them well.
I am definitely going to give these enchilada's a try!

I'm thinking this post is low-key spam, intended to drive us to the poster's webpage.

He/she has, as a first time poster, plastered it all over the web. I've seen it on at least four cooking sites.

So, it's either spam, or this person must really want the world to try the recipe.
