How to Make Wet Burritos

Step 1 — Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s ready to go when the burritos are assembled.

Step 2 — Brown the Beef & Onions

Cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a skillet over medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink and the onion has softened.

Step 3 — Season & Mix the Filling

Drain off any excess grease. Add the minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir in the diced green chiles and refried beans, mixing until everything is smooth and combined. Keep warm on low heat.

Step 4 — Prepare the Sauce

In a medium pot, combine the tomato sauce, enchilada sauce, and no-bean chili. Heat over medium until the mixture is fully warmed and blended.

Step 5 — Assemble the Burritos

Divide the beef-bean mixture into six portions. Place one portion in each tortilla, then top with a bit of shredded cheese and shredded lettuce. Fold each tortilla tightly, tucking the sides to form a secure burrito.

Step 6 — Bake Until Bubbly

Arrange the burritos seam-side down in two greased 9×13-inch baking dishes. Pour the warm sauce evenly over them and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and everything is heated through.

Step 7 — Garnish & Serve

Top with chopped green onions and any extras you enjoy—sour cream, diced tomatoes, chives, or your favorite toppings.
