Categories     Beef

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4.5 oz diced green chile peppers
16 oz refried beans
8 oz tomato sauce
10 oz enchilada sauce
15 oz chili no-beans (Hormel)
6 flour burrito tortillas (about 12 inches)
2 cups shredded lettuce
3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Any additional desired toppings

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned and onion begins to soften. Click for a medium skillet.
  • Drain grease, and season with the garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir in the green chilies and refried beans until well blended. Turn off heat, but keep warm.
  • In a saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, no-bean chili, and enchilada sauce. Whisk together until mixed well, and cook over medium heat until heated through. Turn off heat and keep warm. Click for a whisk.
  • Divide the beef and bean mixture into 6 portions in the pan.
  • Place a burrito sized tortilla on a plate and place 1/6 of the ground beef mixture onto the center.
  • Top with a little cheese and lettuce. Leave the lettuce out if you don't want it baked inside. You can substitute or add other veggies as well.
  • Fold in the left and right side of the tortilla over the filling, holding in place with your fingers. Then fold in the top and bottom sides of the tortilla over the filling (like an envelope) making sure to overlap well so no filling can escape.
  • Repeat with the other 5 tortillas.
  • Place seam side down in two greased 9 x 13 oven safe dishes. Click for a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Pour the entire saucepan of the sauce over the top of the burritos.
  • Top with the remaining cheese sprinkled over all evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until burritos are heated through and cheese is melted.
  • Top with more lettuce, tomato, sour cream and dried chives, or your choice of toppings.

WET BURRITOS



Wet Burritos image

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!

EASY MEXICAN PORK BURRITOS



Easy Mexican Pork Burritos image

Pork butt roast and taco or burrito seasoning are a combination to die for! This recipe originally came from my Aunt Pennie. I've tweaked it to our liking though. My whole family loves these! When we have friends over for dinner, this is the perfect meal to prepare. I usually make about 20-24 burritos from one batch of filling. Serve with lettuce, tomato, green onion, sour cream, salsa, avocado, black olives, and Cheddar cheese, if desired.

Provided by Carolyn Craft Kirkman

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 3h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds bone-in pork shoulder roast
1 onion, sliced
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
6 cups water, or as needed to cover
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, or to taste
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
20 (10 inch) flour tortillas
¼ cup vegetable oil, divided

Steps:

  • Bring pork shoulder roast, onion, garlic, and 1 package taco seasoning to a boil in a large pot with enough water to cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 hours. Check water level every 45 minutes, adding more as needed. Reserve about 1 cup cooking liquid.
  • Shred pork with a fork, discarding excess fat and bone. Stir in tomatoes, refried beans, green chiles, and remaining package of taco seasoning. If the mixture is too dry, add reserved cooking liquid.
  • Spread pork mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla; sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Fold bottom and top edges of each tortilla over filling; roll sides up to enclose filling completely.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil a large skillet over medium heat; fry burritos in batches, seam sides down, until tortillas are golden, about 2 minutes per side. Drain fried burritos on a paper towel-lined plate.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortilla: A good quality tortilla will make all the difference in your wet burrito. Look for tortillas that are soft and pliable, and that won't break when you fold them.
  • Don't overfill your burrito: It's tempting to pack as much filling as possible into your burrito, but this will make it difficult to fold and eat. Aim for a filling that is about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Be careful not to overcook your burrito: The burrito should be heated through, but the tortilla should not be crispy. If you overcook the burrito, the tortilla will become tough and the filling will dry out.
  • Serve your burrito with your favorite toppings: Salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese are all popular toppings for wet burritos. You can also add other toppings, such as pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, or black beans.

Conclusion:

Wet burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect wet burrito every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give wet burritos a try!
