My family has lived in Grand Rapids for 20 years and had no idea this was a West Michigan recipe until reading through the comments. Tasted just like the wet burrito sauce from Taco Boy (much closer to us than Beltline Bar). I did make a few tweaks: I didn't have any beef gravy so made a gravy using beef bouillon and added that to the enchilada sauce leaving out the dice tomatoes as I added the whole can to the meat instead. (Beef gravy, who knew?!) I also upped the amount of spice in the meat for more flavor. I spread each tortilla with a small layer of the refried beans before adding the beef then I added diced onions (soaked in water and lime juice to kill off some of the onion potency), lettuce, and tomato to the inside of the burrito before folding it up and covering it with sauce and cheese then broiled it on low just until the cheese melted, maintaining the crispness of the lettuce. My whole family loved it and said it tasted spot on. Thank you!
