Creamy Mexican Wet Burrito Recipe

Servings: 2 9x13 pans
Author: Kelly the Kitchen Kop

Ingredients

Ingredients for sauce:

  • 6 Tablespoons pastured butter
  • 6 Tablespoons flour I like einkorn flour
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1 1/2 cup whole milk substitute some of the milk or cream with some beef or chicken broth for extra nutrition!
  • 2-8 ounce bars of organic cream cheese
  • 1 Tablespoons taco seasoning mix Or just use approximate amounts of spices: 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/8 teaspoon chili powder, sea salt to taste
  • 2 jars tomato paste I use organic from glass jars

Instructions

  • Brown the burger in a cast iron pan with the onion until brown, and then stir in the seasoning.  Turn the stove off and let set until you're ready to assemble the burritos.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce…
  • Melt butter in a saucepan and add the flour.  Whisk until smooth and cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes, being careful to watch it so it doesn't burn.  Add the cream, and keep whisking.  As it thickens, keep adding more milk.  Add the tomato paste, seasoning, and cream cheese – keep whisking it in as it melts.  If this is done before you're ready to assemble, just turn your heat off and let set.

Assemble the burritos:

  • Butter two 9 x 13 or 8 1/2 x 11 pans.
  • Spread 1 Tablespoon of beans on a tortilla.
  • Spoon 2 1/2 Tablespoons (or so) of meat on top.
  • Roll up and repeat until you've got 8 burritos in each pan.
  • Spoon half the sauce onto each pan of burritos
  • Sprinkle cheese on top.  Grass fed, raw cheese is best, but I just had some I got at the grocery store.
  • Bake at 350* until cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly – it only took mine about 15 minutes.
  • Serve with sour cream, lettuce, and fresh salsa on top if your family likes that stuff like we do, and you could also serve it with some Spanish rice or just rice with a little cumin sprinkled in.  ENJOY!
  • Makes two 9 x 13 or 8.5 x 11 pans, 8 tortillas each – 16 total tortillas.  This creamy Mexican wet burrito recipe is a hit around here, we ate a whole pan one night, and then the next night we ate the other, but you could also pop the other one in the freezer for a quick meal on another night when you know you'll be too busy to cook!
