16 Minute Beef & Bean Burritos

*I made some alterations to fit our family size & taste a bit. I used only 1lb of beef & 1 smallish onion. I also have never met a canned enchilada sauce I like, :p , so I made my own using a basic homemade tomato sauce with some canned enchilada sauce thrown in as well as taco seasonings & cumin. (that result worked well for us) Since we cut back on the meat, we also had fewer shells & instead of nuking I put in the oven at 350 degrees until heated through & cheese was melted. Everyone really enjoyed the results.
