Why You’ll Love These Wet Burritos

This isn’t your average burrito. These beauties are oven-baked, covered in sauce, and oozing with melted cheese. Here’s why you’ll crave them again and again:

• Saucy & cheesy – every bite is smothered in rich enchilada-style sauce.

• Restaurant-style at home – feels like your favorite Mexican takeout, without leaving the house.

• Customizable – fill them with beef, chicken, or even veggies.

• Crowd-pleaser – one pan makes six hearty servings.

Anything but boring!!

What Do Wet Burritos Taste Like?

They’re savory, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The beef and bean filling is seasoned with cumin, garlic, and green chilies, then wrapped in tortillas. Once smothered in chili-tomato-enchilada sauce and baked under a blanket of cheese, you get a hot, melty, saucy masterpiece that’s messy in the best possible way.
