Ingredients:

• 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

How To Make Wet Burritos:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and onion until the beef is cooked through and the onion is softened. Drain any excess grease, then add minced garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and diced green chile peppers. Stir in the refried beans until well blended. Keep warm.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, no-bean chili, and enchilada sauce. Whisk together until well mixed, then cook over medium heat until heated through. Keep warm.
4. Assemble the Burritos: Divide the beef and bean mixture into 6 portions. Place each portion onto the center of a burrito-sized tortilla. Top with cheese and lettuce, leaving out the lettuce if you prefer. Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the top and bottom sides to enclose the filling like an envelope.
5. Bake the Burritos: Place the assembled burritos seam side down in two greased 9×13-inch oven-safe dishes. Pour the sauce over the top of the burritos, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the burritos are heated through and the cheese is melted.
7. Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and any additional desired toppings. Serve hot and enjoy the deliciousness!
