Beef and bean burritos

We made the Pioneer Woman's beef and bean burritos a few weeks ago for a quick, delicious dinner.  She mentioned a particular Mexican tomato sauce (El Pato hot tomato sauce), so I sought it out at my local Hispanic market.  A few days later I saw it at Target, so hopefully it's easily accessible for you, too!  (We made the basic version without optional fillings, and it really doesn't get any easier than this!)
