I agree, we call those burritos. Enchiladas are usually covered in a sauce then baked casserole style. That is a lot of electricity, for just one unit. Done the iron cooking thing for a long time. Nothing new.

This is genius for cheap eats when in a hotel or motel.
They'll always lend you an iron.
Brilliant.

This is a great idea for a college student who lives in the dorms. You may not be allowed to have an oven or a hotplate, you are, however, usually allowed to have an iron. Hot burritos, grilled cheese sammies, chessie quesadillas, so many warm foods! An iron, a minifridge and an electric water kettle would provide several hot meals without leaving the room. Throw in a rice cooker, a crockpot and a microwave and you can eat healthy (er) and stay on budget.

Wonderful! Do you iron your clothes in the oven? (Really, I think it's great!!!)

That is awesome, but why? (that won't stop me using it though)

Great video but that really isn't an Enchilada. It's more like a burrito. An Enchilada is made with corn tortillas and is usually covered in red or green chili sauce. But a nifty how to any way.
