Recipe Notes

-For a do-ahead recipe, you may make the crepes the day before and store in the fridge until ready to assemble.-*I had some boneless "Country Style Pork Ribs" I wanted to use. I cooked the ribs at 275 degrees for 3 1/2 to 4 hours in a dutch oven. I seasoned the ribs with salt, garlic salt and pepper, and added about 1/2 cup of water to the meat before tightly covering the pan. Before cooking, the ribs weighed about 4-5 lbs. There was enough meat for a double recipe of enchiladas.
