Deluxe Wet Burritos

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 (approximately 12 inches)
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• Chopped green onions (for garnish)
• Any additional desired toppings

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and onion until the beef is cooked through and the onion is softened.
3. Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then season the beef mixture with garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir in the diced green chilies and refried beans until well combined. Keep warm while preparing the sauce.
4. In a saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, chili no-beans, and enchilada sauce. Whisk together until smooth, then heat over medium heat until warmed through. Keep warm.
5. Divide the beef and bean mixture into 6 equal portions.
6. Place a tortilla on a plate and spoon 1/6 of the beef mixture onto the center. Add a sprinkle of cheese and lettuce on top, if desired.
7. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the top and bottom to enclose the filling completely, similar to an envelope. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
8. Place the filled burritos seam side down in two greased 9 x 13 oven-safe dishes.
9. Pour the sauce evenly over the burritos, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the burritos are heated through and the cheese is melted.
11. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and any additional desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, sour cream, or dried chives. Enjoy your deluxe wet burritos!
