From the AP, dateline Las Cruces, NM.  Wonder if Wirt's large poster was
inspiration.

 The Associated Press

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - Las Cruces came up with the perfect recipe for
heartburn.

Combine 75 gallons of red chili, 50 pounds of onions, 175 pounds of cheese
and 750 pounds of corn flour.

In Las Cruces, they call it an enchilada.

The three-layer enchilada, featuring 10-foot-wide tortillas, was fashioned
Sunday as the culminating event of the annual Whole Enchilada Festival in
Las Cruces.

Each huge tortilla was flattened, carried to a 500-degree oil bin and then
put on a plate and topped with chili.

Roberto Estrada, who has built the giant enchilada for the festival for 21
years, and his crew of nearly three dozen men took nearly four hours to
complete the main dish as festival-goers watched from metal bleachers.

Many in the crowd stood and cheered as the final layer was made.
