Wet Burritos

Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let the burritos rest for a few minutes. This resting time allows the sauce to settle and makes it easier to slice and serve.

Serve and Enjoy

Slice the wet burritos and serve with your favorite toppings. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced onions, sliced black olives (if using), a dollop of sour cream, and sliced jalapeños for some heat. The fresh toppings will add a nice crunch and balance out the richness of the cheesy burritos.

Make-Ahead & Storage

You can make these burritos ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking. To freeze, assemble the burritos and cover them with foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, bake directly from the freezer at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes or until heated through.

Tips

• If you prefer a spicier version, use hot enchilada sauce or add diced jalapeños to the meat filling.
• For extra flavor, try adding a bit of chopped cilantro to the meat mixture before assembling the burritos.
• For a healthier version, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef, and use whole wheat tortillas for a bit more fiber.
