Mexican Wet Beef Burritos are the ultimate comfort food—warm, hearty, and smothered in bold flavor. These burritos are filled with savory seasoned beef, wrapped in soft flour tortillas, then baked under a generous layer of tangy green sauce and melted cheese until perfectly bubbly.
What makes a “wet” burrito so special is the sauce. The green enchilada sauce or salsa verde adds brightness and a mild tang that balances the richness of the beef and cheese. As the burritos bake, the tortillas soak up the sauce, becoming tender and flavorful all the way through.
This dish brings classic restaurant-style Mexican comfort straight to your kitchen. It is filling, satisfying, and ideal for family dinners, casual gatherings, or anytime you crave something cozy and indulgent.
