I like to make bean or beef burrito at home since it make a very quick and easy meal. But somehow it didn't taste like burrito from Taco Bell (specially Bean burrito) and it seem to be missing something. So I was talking to somebody that used to work at Taco bell and told her about it and she said what I am missing is the sauce that Taco Bell put in their burritos with other ingredients. And the secret sauce is Enchilada sauce. They put about 1/2 ounce of Enchilada sauce in each burrito before wrapping the flour tortilla.

So tried it at home and she was right. It made the burrito taste so much better and flavorful and also kept the burrito from being too "dry". So now have a bottle of Enchilada sauce in my pantry :)

You welcome. I usually have side of salsa with my homemade burritos, but now could do without salsa with enchilada sauce in the burrito since the sauce add much more flavor.

We like to make them also. We use different taco sauces - CHERRY SALSA and / or PEACH SALSA - "GRANDMA BELLE'S SALSA"

I have tried Mango salsa, but never Peach or Cherry salsa. They do sound good with a chicken dish though-such as fajita chicken dish. My favorite store bought tomato salsa is Chi-Chi as I like to put it on homemade crunchy Beef tacos.

Is this the actual secret sauce for the burritos?

The girl that used to work at Taco Bell told me the sauce comes in powder form from the company and they add hot water to it to make the sauce. I am guessing you can call it Taco Bell's brand enchilada sauce. They taste very similar to store bought enchilada sauce.

Thanks for links Foggy. I see if I can find some in my local farmer's market. They usually carry all kind of jarred fruit, including variety of fruit chutney.

Local Farmer's Markets are a great place to look. :)
You might find them also in any Amish and/or Mennonite Stores (County Bulk Stores) :wave:
