"I made these burritos for a large dinner party of college students. They were filling and tasty. I made a few adaptations and they turned out great. I added additional enchilada sauce on top of the burritos, along with some grated cheese and baked them covered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes (it may take less time if you've followed the quantity in the recipe. I made 20). I froze the leftovers and baked them still frozen (covered) at 350 degrees for about 1 hour with a little water added to the bottom of the pan."
