Burritos, Enchilada-Style

Submitted by KlynnPadilla

"Uses frozen burritos, or you could substitute your own. In a pinch, I've also used canned enchilada sauce, but it's better homemade! I use El Pato Mexican tomato sauce. If I have it on hand, I use queso fresco in addition to the shredded cheese."
