Massi's North of the Border Wet Burrito

I was ambitious today. That is with the assistance of a Migraine. I just had a taste for it. Something about the texture of the flour tortilla moistened with the gooey cheese, sauce and filling. Mmmmmm...

Massi's North of the Border
Wet Burrito

Meat filling:

2.5 lbs Ground Meat of choice
1/4 cup of Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
5 Tbsp Chili Powder
3 Tbsp Dried Onion Flakes
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Granulated Garlic
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Cumin
1 cup Water

1. In a large bowl, combine meat and all seasonings along with flour. Now get your hands dirty and dig in. Mix everything well. Add to a pot and start cooking. Breaking down and add water. Continue to stir and break down the meat until fine. Set aside.

Burrito Assembly:

Flour Tortillas
Enchilada Sauce (Mine is Top Secret...sorry)
Shredded Lettuce
Chopped Onions
Sour Cream
Shredded Mild Cheddar
Refried beans


I like to warm up the large burrito size tortillas. I lay the tortilla on a clean surface in front of me then I spread a nice semi thick layer of refried beans towards center bottom. Leaving the sides and top half clear of filling. I then top with the meat. Fold up the bottom half then the two sides and roll up folding in any extra sides of the tortilla. I place it in a baking dish and continue with how many other burritos you make. Top with sauce then cheese. I bake at 375 for 30 min..checking on the cheese so it doesn't crust up or burn. You want to go thoroughly warmed up and the cheese nice and melted with bubbling sauce.

I take it out of the oven. On a plate I make a bed of shredded lettuce, lay the big burro on top then I top that off with more sauce, onions and cilantro and some sour cream and today I added some homemade guacamole. Which is top secret also. Its killer too!!

MMmmm...que rico! I only ate half..if that! Got to watch the calories.
