I would like to be able to say that I take the time to make my own

fresh, homemade burritos... and who knows, perhaps one day I will,

but I generally do not. I pick up the pre-made ones from the freezer section.

But we love to turn them into wet burritos.

My mom used to make these when I was growing up and we loved them then, too.

 

Wet Burritos

 

homemade or store bought burritos

1-2 cans enchilada sauce (found at grocery store in the 'taco aisle')

cheddar cheese (shredded)

lettuce leafs

ground turkey (optional)

taco seasoning (optional)

 

 

Set the burritos in a 9x13 baking dish and cover them with the enchilada sauce.

Sprinkle with cheese, cover with tin foil and bake at about 325 for 35 minutes.

 

Serve on a bed of lettuce.

 

I used to cook up the ground turkey and add in the taco seasoning,

then sprinkle the meat on the burritos with the cheese on top.

But I have stopped adding the meat and enjoy making them without it.

It's cheaper, it's less meat, and my family enjoys them just the same (including Dad).

 

Note on feeding them to younger children:

My three younger ones have found the enchilada sauce to be too 'spicy' for them,

even when buying the mild. So instead, I put their burritos in a separate baking dish

and spoon a little pizza sauce over them. I know it may sound strange...

but it tastes pretty good and they love to eat them!

 

 

Enjoy!
