Wet Burritos Recipe

Posted on  - Last updated:

Jump to Recipe


Being a lover of Mexican cuisine it came as a shock to me that I had never heard of wet burritos. After looking over the ingredient list I knew this was something I had to make. If you are not familiar with wet burritos they are flour tortillas filled with a ground beef mixture and topped with a chile sauce and cheese. The burrito filling consists of hamburger, green chilies, and refried beans. What really impressed me about this dish was the chile sauce. This sauce uses condensed tomato soup, enchilada sauce and canned chili. The combination was excellent. If you are looking for a slightly different take on the burrito, give this one a try.

Bobby - I'm from GR and they are as common as tacos. This is the first time I have seen a recipe for the sauce using soup... Common versions have the ench sauce, but the one I like uses a 0can of tomato sauce, tablespoon of each cumin & chili powder, little garlic & onion powder (you can use diced as well, but brown in pan first)and some people add a little beef stock.
