The build in detail
What makes it an Enchirito is presentation, not ingredients. A standard Bean Burrito is a hand-held item — beans, red sauce and cheese folded into a flour tortilla and wrapped to go. The Enchirito treatment plates it: the same burrito covered in red sauce with a blanket of melted three-cheese blend on top, eaten with a fork. It is the oldest build here — an official menu item for decades before it became a fan order — which is why most kitchens still recognise the construction even though the name has left the board.
The estimate on this page is a floor, not a total. It sums the base Bean Burrito alone ($2.59 sampled, 360 Cal on its published panel) because the two things the hack adds — the extra red sauce and the extra cheese — are not separate items in our dataset and carry no published values of their own here. A real Enchirito lands somewhat above both figures. If the crew steams the burrito after saucing it, the build is closer to the original; unsteamed, it is a sauced burrito, which is most of the way there.
Availability
Orderable at most locations as a customisation; the Enchirito was an official menu item for decades and crews are usually happy to build it.
