‘Burrito’ and ‘enchilada sauce’ are not popular words around our house. However, this dish was a hit! It’s an easy recipe that is sure to please everyone. I highly suggest using the homemade enchilada sauce recipe (provided below — make ahead of time!). It’s super easy to make and, once you’ve had it, you’ll never go back to canned!
