Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion chopped
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4.5 oz diced green chile peppers 1 small can
  • 16 oz refried beans 1 can
  • 8 oz tomato sauce 1 small can
  • 15 oz no-bean chili 1 can (Hormel recommended)
  • 10 oz enchilada sauce 1 small can
  • 6 large flour tortillas burrito-sized, about 12 inches
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • chopped green onions for garnish
  • additional toppings sour cream, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, jalapeños (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the burritos bake evenly and the cheese melts perfectly.
  • In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat until browned and the onion softens (5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease. Stir in garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix in diced green chiles and refried beans until heated through. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • In a saucepan, combine tomato sauce, no-bean chili, and enchilada sauce. Whisk until smooth and heat over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
  • Place one tortilla on a clean surface. Add a portion of the filling, some shredded cheese, and optional shredded lettuce. Fold the tortilla into a burrito shape (envelope style) and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  • Pour the sauce evenly over the burritos and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the burritos cool for a few minutes, then garnish with shredded lettuce, chopped green onions, and any additional toppings. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Customize your Wet Burritos with toppings like jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or avocado slices. Serve with rice, beans, or tortilla chips for a complete meal.
