Smothered Wet Burritos with Creamy Enchilada Sauce

Introduction

These Smothered Wet Burritos are a hearty, satisfying comfort meal that never disappoints. Packed with seasoned meat, beans, rice, and cheese, then wrapped in soft flour tortillas and smothered in a rich, creamy enchilada sauce, each burrito comes out warm, comforting, and full of flavor. Baking them after assembly allows the tortillas to soften under the sauce, the cheese to melt beautifully, and the filling to heat through so every bite is perfectly saucy and delicious.

The recipe uses simple pantry ingredients and easy steps, making it a great dinner option on busy nights. The enchilada sauce is boosted with green chilies for mild heat and sour cream for creaminess, giving the burritos their signature “wet” texture. Once baked, they’re finished with fresh toppings—lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives, sour cream, or jalapeños—for the ideal combination of hot, melty filling and cool, crisp garnish.
