Enchilada-Style Burritos

SUBMITTED BY: Terry Ann Christensen

"'Our family loves Mexican food, but I couldn't find a recipe for homemade burritos that we liked as much as the frozen varieties,' comments Terry Ann Christensen of Roy, Utah. 'So I came up with a not-too-spicy homemade sauce that dresses them up.'"
