I made chicken enchiladas again last night but instead of rolling them into individual burritos, I just layered all the ingredients in the 9 x 13 pan. I tore the tortillas so they would fit in the pan and I used the Mexican Blend cheese from Target, the Target brand. It was really good, I think they add chili powder to it. Anyway, it turned out really good and I think that it feeds more people this way too because you end up using more tortillas and each piece is really filling.
I also used the same recipe and cooked it in a dutch oven. I used a recipe book to figure out how many coals it would take to equal about 350 degrees and then just went for it. I layered it in the dutch oven which was easy because I had a 10 inch dutch oven and I used 10 inch tortillas.
Also, I steamed some summer squash (zucchini, yellow crookneck, and Mexican) in a dutch oven as well. I used 24 coals on the bottom to get it going and then too a few away to maintain the steam and just steamed until done. I liberally salted and peppered the squash before and then added a stick of butter once they were done. (How could they be bad with a stick of butter?) They seemed to go over really well and it's nice to have a healthier dutch oven meal among all the heavy dishes that seem to go with that type of cooking.
