Wet burritos are the ultimate comfort food, marrying the flavors of savory ground beef, creamy refried beans, and melted cheese, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. The magic happens when the burritos are generously smothered with rich enchilada sauce and baked to perfection, creating a delightful mix of textures—soft, saucy, and cheesy.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 2 cups enchilada sauce (red or green, depending on preference)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and guacamole
Instructions:
- Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, then add onions and garlic. Cook until onions are soft and translucent.
- Season the beef: Stir in taco seasoning and a small amount of water, following the package instructions. Mix in refried beans and heat through.
- Assemble the burritos: Lay each tortilla flat, and add a generous portion of the beef and bean mixture in the center. Top with a bit of shredded cheese.
- Fold and wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly. Place each burrito seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Smother with sauce: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the burritos, ensuring they are completely covered.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the burritos, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and top with sour cream, salsa, and any optional toppings you like. Serve hot!
