This is how we like to eat homemade burritos. We use costco's uncooked tortillas and fill them with our beans and shredded cheddar cheese. We either freeze or eat like this or we pour enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 pan and then fill it with our rolled burritos. Pour more enchilada sauce over the burritos and top with shredded cheese. Bake covered at 325 for 25 min or until cheese is melted. Then we top with fresh chopped onions and tomatoes. On the side of the burrito it always tastes great to have some shredded romaine lettuce, guacomole, brown rice, and chips. This is a great recipe for sauce if I want to fancier than using canned. http://www.thegardengrazer.com/2013/05/enchilada-sauce.html I like to sprinkle in a little bit of chipotle pepper powder to give it a little kick.
