Wet Burritos
By: Terri F.
Jul 9, 2002
Having grown up with these, I didn't realize that most folks have never heard of a wet burrito. It is a meat and bean (or all meat or all bean) burrito with a spicy gravy and cheese on top. They are available here in many restaurants, and no self respecting bar would be without one on the menu, lol! Once you try them, you'll never go back to "dry" burritos again! Don't let the long list of directions scare you, these are easy!

- 3/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, in sauce divided

This was very, very good. I doubled the recipe and ended up with a lot of sauce left over, maybe because I put the eight burritos in a 10 X 15 pan. They were plenty wet even so. I also thought the meat was a little blah even after adding salt so added a couple of tablespoons of Bufalo Chipotle Mexican Hot Sauce and about 1/2 a tsp of chipotle powder. That gave it a very small amount of heat and we needed that! Like another reviewer, I used Texas Red Enchilada Sauce instead of canned sauce and used Costco's beef gravy mix and water to make up the jars of beef gravy. I ended up adding more Bufalo Chipotle sauce to this as well to heat it up and round out the flavour. This is the first sauce of this type I have ever liked, and it was perfect for this dish. Next time I will combine the beans and meat in the same pan to make cleanup a little easier. Once they are in the burritos, you can't tell if they were or weren't mixed together. Thanks very much for posting this, everyone liked it.

This is more than a 5-star recipe! We all loved it! I used Texas Red Enchilada Sauce Texas Red Enchilada Sauce in place of store bought.

These were very good and easy to prepare. The only change I made was I added a couple of pinches of salt to the meat after it had simmered with the tomatoes...it tasted a tad bland to me without some salt. I also used the "hot" enchilada sauce to make sure there was some kick to it. Otherwise I followed the recipe as close as possible. I'm sure these will be made many times in my house. Thanks for posting Terry.

These were AWESOME! My whole family loved them! My husband even raved about them, and he normally doesn't say too much when I try a new dish out on him. I served them with spanish rice and charro beans. I followed your directions exactly and topped them with sour cream and fresh chopped jalapenos! I will definitely be making these often! Thanks for posting a great recipe!
