Stuffed Wet Burritos

Jump to Recipe

Burritos are so yummy – and so perfect for weeknight meals. They are easy to put together and let cook up while you do other things to keep the house going. Stuffed Wet Burritos are that next level that gets you around the lament of “burritos, again?” because the homemade enchilada sauce is where it’s at.

I made these burritos with beef but you could totally use chicken or ground turkey. You could also sub out the meat for rice and make a vegetarian option (also need to sub out vegetable stock for the chicken stock in the enchilada sauce if you want to go full veg). Yes, these burritos require a fork and knife to eat, but it’s so worth it. You get so much flavor and its incredibly filling.

Since I don’t put rice inside the burritos, I serve it on the side. I like to use a simple Mexican rice recipe. Two cups of long grain rice, one 15 oz can tomato puree, one 7 oz can of green chilies and one quart of chicken broth – all added to a sauce pan over medium-heat. Cover with lid and let cook for 17 minutes. Remove from heat but do not remove the lid until ready to serve.
