Bean & Cheese Burritos W/ Tex-Mex Chili Sauce image

I'm addicted to Tex Mex, and it's slowly but surely clogging my arteries. I'm told these are called "wet burritos," although I have yet to find a Tex Mex restaurant that calls them that. Anyhow, here's my lower in fat version of a dish I simply can't live without. You can use pre-prepared beans and rice or give it your own flair by making them from scratch. Add or omit ingredients as you like to create your own perfect burrito!

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these burritos were still really good. The chili sauce had just the right amount of heat.
