A fusion wet burritos recipe!
This wet burritos recipe was the first Mexican and Indian Burrito I ever ate and practically the only one I enjoy. With flavors of India, Mexico, and Italy it’s probably the only fusion thing I make. Homemade sauce is topped on a flour tortilla vegetarian burrito along with sour cream, guacamole, cheese, and shredded lettuce. What’s. Not. To. Love?
The name says it all, “saucy” burritos. It is made with an extreme fusion burrito sauce which consists of Italian pasta sauce, Mexican seasoning, and Indian spices. Confused about where the dish originates? Yah me too. However, the ingredients help make the recipe what it is. If you ask a Gujarati person for a wet burritos recipe, then this what they will show you. A recipe I learned how to make from my late-aunt at a very young age, and I am happy I did because not only has it made my belly happy but it gives me joy to share it with you.
Fusion (Saucy) Burritos
What are Wet Burritos?
A Wet Burrito is one that is smothered in a red sauce with additional toppings and is extra saucy! It is packed with flavors that are far from dry in texture. The type of enchilada sauce used in the recipe is what makes it so tasty with the addition of a burrito packed with beans, vegetables, and/or meat.
I, for one, do not like to make many fusion dishes (sorry folks). I just prefer pasta to remain Italian, roti to remain Indian, and enchiladas to remain Mexican. However, this dish is a major exemption to that rule of mine.

How to make my wet burritos sauce
Start by heating some oil in a sauce pan and cooking the vegetables. Next add the fresh minced garlic enchilada seasoning, red chili powder, and garam masala. Pour in the pasta sauce and simmer for about 10 minutes. I am going to be very honest here and let you know that using any other kind of pasta sauce is going to alter the taste of this dish.
