My mom never made wet burritos when I was a kid, but I still think wet burritos are one of the best things to get at a Mexican restaurant.
If you’re not aware, a wet burrito is just a normal burrito bathed in enchilada sauce and topped with cheese. You must eat it with a knife and fork. Normally, I’m against using utensils to eat foods that should be eaten with your hands (burritos, pizza, brownies, hot dogs). But, in this case I am all about a big, messy, wet burrito that requires utensils.
My key ingredients: meatless crumbles and enchilada sauce.
Layer up the burrito: beans, spinach, meatless crumbles, onions, salsa. Then, wrap as tight as you can and top with enchilada sauce and cheese (I am out of queso). You can either broil it to heat and melt the cheese or nuke it. Served with a pile of Guacamole!
Dig in!
Before my wet burrito extravaganza I had a full day of work and then school and then picking up Ben from work. Exciting huh. I know.
I packed a big veggie burger salad for lunch, cantaloupe and yogurt. This was the fig flavor from Voskos and it turns out I’m not the biggest fan of figs. Which is surprising since I adore Fig Newtons, but I digress.
Snackage: trail mix, apple and carrots. I didn’t think I was that hungry in between class and lab when I have 10 minutes to eat so I skipped the trail mix. Big mistake. An hour into lab (where you cannot eat) I was starving and tore out of class like a hungry beast.
And what is required after a l-o-n-g Monday? Margaritas? Not today.
Today I had ice cream. Actually, I am back to being obsessed with ice cream and chickpeas and want it every night. Shocker.
Question of the day: How hard was it for Monica not to make a very dirty reference about “wet burritos” in this post?
Answer: Very, very hard. (TWSS)

marsha says
That looks AMAZING. I’m going to have to make those soon!
Lisa says
Hahaha! That’s a good joke! 🙂
chandra says
I’ve had that Skinny Cow mini Cookies ‘n Cream… wasn’t a fan. Mine was all cream, no cookies! Total rip off.
And as you would expect of me, I totally lol’d at your Q&A and Ben’s joke.
PS – now I’m craving enchiladas… thanks a lot…
Caitlin (EatFeats) says
That burrito looks straight out of a restaurant. So yum!
Amber K says
So is a wet burrito the same as an enchilada? Whatever it is called, as long as it has beans, I’m good. 🙂
Samantha @ Health, Happiness & Skinny Jeans says
Mmmm burritos!
Just Juan…lmao!
Stephanie @ The Cookie Battle says
I’m 100% with you on the fig thing…love me some newtons, but actual figs or anything else fig flavored kind of wigs me out. I’ve even tried them dried, but they just aren’t my thing at all.
Ben’s joke was hilarious! Good thing I wasn’t eating cereal when I read that or milk would’ve come out my nose 🙂

Those jokes are terrible! And I laughed anyway!
I have recently discovered (in the last year or two) my obsession with guacamole. Your post just reaffirmed my purchase of some this evening. Now what to eat it with . . .
runeatrepeat says
Eat it with a fork. Or spoon 🙂 So good.
