These California style wet burritos are on repeat in my kitchen. The burritos are stuffed with vegetarian ingredients and then grilled to a crisp brown layer. Then the burrito is smothered with a homemade wet burrito sauce which is packed with international flavors.

Grill the burritos on a griddle pan using oil until they are brown.

Burrito Layering + Assembly
Place burrito on a plate and top it according to these layers...
1 tablespoon guacamole, 1 tablespoon sour cream, 1 tablespoon cheese, a big ladle of sauce, and finally ¼ cup of salad mix to EACH burrito.
Add fresh chili peppers on top for extra spice.
ENJOY!
Notes
Use Ragu Traditional Pasta Sauce or Hunt's Traditional Pasta Sauce. Using any other pasta sauce will alter the taste of this dish. Hence, why I choose not to use my favorite organic one.
Top with green chilies and onions (both optional but recommended).
