Wet Burritos (THM:S, Low-Carb, Sugar-Free!)

If you’re in the mood for a hearty, filling Mexican dinner..I’ve got you covered! These wet burritos are the ultimate satisfying dinner that will keep your family talking about them for days!

If you haven’t heard of a wet burrito, it’s exactly what it sounds like. A flavorful burrito topped with a sauce and covered with cheese and other toppings. This dinner might have a few different elements, but like the majority of my recipes, it is extremely simple to make. I used ground beef for my burritos, but you can use chicken if that’s what you have on hand. Feel free to switch up the toppings! I used olives (accidentally bought minced type ones when I wanted sliced!), sour cream and salsa. I found myself wishing I had some shredded iceberg lettuce and guac on hand! I served these enchiladas with a side salad drizzled with olive oil to get my greens in.

This recipe makes about 6 burritos or a 9×13 inch pan full. Keep in mind that you can have two burritos if you use the low-carb tortillas that have 3g carbs each or one burrito if you use the 6g kind. Not into store-bought tortillas? Use wonder wraps from the THM Cookbook!
