WET BURRITOS

                                                          Wet Burritos



Wet Burritos are easy to make and can be made with so many different fillings. These are stuffed with my precooked pinto beans and brown rice.

Preheat your beans-
two cans of pinto,black or re fried beans
1 tsp cumin
1/4 diced onion
1 clove diced garlic
saute' the onion and garlic in some oil or butter.
add the beans and cumin, heat until hot. Set aside.

Rice
Make your rice ahead of time since it takes longer to cook.
2-Cups brown rice
4 Cups water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oil
Cook on high with a lid until it begins to boil. Turn down to med/low and simmer for about 30 min. or until your rice is tender. Do not let water evaporate out. 4 cups should be the perfect amount, but if needed add a little more. Turn off heat and keep covered until you use it.

Making the burritos

In a 9"x13" glass baking dish pour 1/4 jar of a large jar of salsa.Make sure bottom of the baking dish has sauce on it or your burritos will stick. I use my homemade salsa. You can use any salsa. If you prefer just a sauce..Mix one large can of crushed tomatoes with 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp chili powder.

Begin filling large or small white or whole wheat 

tor teas with half the bean and half the rice. Roll each one up and place into the baking dish. It should hold about 12. You can squish them together to make them fit or cut them in half if needed.

Pour the rest of your sauce over the burritos. Make sure the sauce gets down the sides of the dish so the burritos do not stick. Add more as needed. Cover with your favorite cheeses. I used
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella
1 cup Crumbled pepper jack.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 min. at 350 degrees.

Serve with toppings
Shredded Romain lettuce
sour cream
Avocado smashed with some sea salt and lime juice.
Black olives
Diced tomato
Diced jalapeno

ENJOY!
