Assembly line.

I put a little enchilada sauce on the bottom of the pan and then more on top before the cheese.

Sharpies work great on foil for writing instructions.

As you can see this made three pans of burritos.  One to take to another family, one to freeze and one for tonight's dinner.  The original recipe had less vegetables and 1/2 the amount of seasoning tomatoes etc.

The Original Recipe That I Adapted the one above from is this one:
