Here's what I started with:

Here's how I did it:

#1 I preheated the oven to 350 degrees.

#2 I opened up the prepackaged burritos and lined them up in a greased 8x13 baking dish.

#3 I melted the butter in a saucepan.

#4 The flour went in with the butter.

#5 I stirred the flour and butter until it started to thicken then added the water, tomato sauce and spices. 

#6 I covered the burritos with the sauce and then added the cheese on top.

#7 Into the oven for 40 minutes.

Review:

This dish is easy if you are in a pinch and you really don't want to put a lot of effort into cooking.  I loved the flavor of the sauce and, to me, it tasted very authentic. 

I did not, however, care for the prepackaged burritos.  To be honest, I don't think I have ever eaten one before so it could just be me but I didn't like the texture of the tortilla.  It was a real turn off for me.  I almost browned some ground beef and threw it on top of the burritos and maybe that would have changed it for me.

I will use this sauce recipe again, though.

Hope you enjoy!
