Wet Burritos: A Saucy, Satisfying Mexican Comfort Food
If you love burritos but crave something extra saucy and indulgent, Wet Burritos are exactly what you need. Also known as “smothered burritos,” these hearty meals are loaded with savory fillings, wrapped in a warm tortilla, and then drenched in rich red or green sauce, topped with melted cheese and fresh garnishes. The result? A deliciously messy, soul-satisfying dish that’s perfect for any burrito lover.
What Makes a Burrito “Wet”?
Unlike a traditional burrito that’s served dry and handheld, wet burritos are baked or served on a plate and covered with a flavorful enchilada-style sauce — usually a chili-based red sauce or tangy green tomatillo sauce. This gives the burrito a wonderfully tender texture and an explosion of layered flavors with every bite.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Large flour tortillas
- Ground beef, chicken, or beans for filling
- Cooked rice
- Refried beans or black beans
- Taco seasoning or homemade Mexican spices
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
- Enchilada sauce (red chili or green tomatillo sauce)
- Chopped onions and fresh cilantro
- Sour cream, sliced olives, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños for topping
How to Make Wet Burritos:
- Prepare the Filling: Cook ground beef or chicken with taco seasoning, or simply warm your beans. Mix in cooked rice and beans for a hearty filling.
- Assemble the Burritos: Spoon the filling onto large tortillas, sprinkle with some cheese, then roll them tightly.
