I believe the answer is:

sect

'group' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'starters of spicy enchiladas carried to' is the wordplay.
'starters of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'spicy enchiladas carried to' is 'SECT'.

(Other definitions for sect that I've seen before include "Dissenting body" , "Denomination" , "Religious splinter group" , "Small group with own religious beliefs" , "Heretical group" .)
