Subject: Wet Burrito
I am looking for a wet burrito recipe. I know they have meat (usually
beef or chicken), cheese, and refried beans wrapped in a soft tortilla
shell with some sort of sauce over them. I don't know what makes them
"wet" though. I have had one at La Senorita, a Mexican restaurant and
also a local (I live in Michigan) restaurant called Nanny's. Wondering
if you can help me. Thanks so much. I have searched and searched and
found lots of recipes for burritos but nothing that looks like what I
am looking for.
Stacy
Hello Stacy,
The "wet" comes from the gravy that's poured over the burrito. There are three recipes below.
Phaed
Wet Burrito
1 lb lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
3/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, in sauce divided
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (or you can use mexican blend)
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups refried beans, with
1/4 teaspoon cumin, added
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 (18 ounce) jar homestyle beef gravy
---for serving---
sour cream
chopped onions
salsa
jalapenos
chopped lettuce
chopped tomatoes
1. Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic, making sure to chop ground
beef into very fine pieces while cooking.
2. Drain off any fat from browning.
3. Add Worcestershire sauce, paprika, oregano, chili powder, cumin,
pepper, and half of the can of tomatoes with sauce, and simmer for
5 minutes.
4. While meat is simmering, heat beans with 1/4 tsp.
5. cumin, and make gravy.
6. For gravy, combine enchilada sauce, beef gravy, and the other half
of tomatoes, and heat until almost boiling.
7. Soften tortillas according to package directions.
8. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
9. Assemble burritos.
10. On each tortilla, layer 1/4 of the meat mixture, 1/4 of the bean
mixture, and 1/4 cup of cheese.
11. Fold sides of burrito in, then roll from the other sides until you
have a"package".
12. Place seam side down in a 13x9 baking dish.
13. When all burritos are assembled and in the baking dish, pour sauce
mixture over all and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
14. Bake 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and burritos are heated
through.
15. Serve each burrito with extra sauce from pan spooned over the top.
16. Have sour cream, chopped onions, salsa, jalapenos, chopped lettuce
and chopped tomatoes available to sprinkle on as desired.

classic green chili wet buritto
Ingredients :
1 lb. pork (lower quality. Fat for flavor, fat for flavor!!!)
24-30 oz canned anaheim green chilis
(you can use fresh if you want, but you'll be simmering them for several
hours and the result will be essentially the same)
18-24 oz canned stewed tomatoes (same as anaheims on freshness)
4 cloves garlic
a bunch of big flour tortillas
cheese of some sort (I prefer jack or pepper jack, but chedder's good, too)
Dice up the tomatoes, chilis and pork and throw them all in a large stew
pot. Drain all the juices INTO the pot, you'll need them. Add some salt
and pepper to taste (figuratively, don't go drinking the raw pork soup).
I also like to add a little paprika, but this is not a mix to get carried
away with on the spices.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and leave there, stirring every
so often for several hours. Basically, wait until the broth starts to grow
clear. Once this occurs, crush and add the garlic and cook for another
10-15 minutes.
Preheat the oven at a light broil. Fill the tortillas with the green chili,
then roll them on an oven friendly plate or similar surface and pour MORE
of the delicious stuff on top. Cover liberally with the grated cheese. Bake
until the cheese starts to get a little crisp, then take out and devour.
I prefer this with only a little of the broth, so mine are pretty dry wet
burritos, but you can also put them in a shallow plate and get the bottom
pretty thick with the broth. This makes a more traditional wet burrito.
Also, feel free to try adding refried beans and even substituting beef for
the pork.
--------------------------
Burrito Meat
Lightly brown 80/20 Ground Beef. Add 1 ounce of Moctezuma Burrito Seasoning
#2 for each pound of beef. Add 8 ounces of fresh chopped onions for each
10 pounds of beef. Continue browning ground beef. Mix well; do not drain
grease from beef.
Recommended Uses: Tacos, Tostadas, Burritos, Enchiladas, Chalupas, Taco
Salad, Super Nachos.

Subject: Fairy cakes
Hello there,
I am delighted to find your web site, and I hope you will be able to help
me find a recipe for the "fairy cakes" that are always being discussed in
the somewhat old-fashioned British fiction that I read. I did find a
reference to the "grease proof baking cases" that I assume are cupcake
papers; does it follow that fairy cakes are just cupcakes?
Thank you.
Hi Likes,
I found a couple of recipes, one from the UK and one from New Zealand. See below. Yes, they are basically cup cakes,
therefore the "baking cases". The New Zealand recipe does calls for wings, though...
Phaed
Fairy Cakes
Ingredients:
125g fresh fruit, such as strawberries, peaches, apples, pears or bananas
125g soft margarine
125g caster sugar
125g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs
1 tsp natural vanilla extract or cinnamon or ground mixed spice
For the icing:
250g icing sugar
3 tbsp fruit juice or water
edible food colouring
sweets or tubes of writing icing, to decorate
assorted sweets
Preparation:
1. Ask an adult to preheat the oven to 190C/375F/gas mark 5 and chop the
fruit into small pieces with a knife on the chopping board. Wash your
hands, then put the paper cases in the bun trays.
2. Put the margarine and sugar in a large bowl. Sift in the flour and
baking powder. Break in the eggs and add the vanilla extract, cinnamon
or ground mixed spice.
3. Beat with a wooden spoon until evenly mixed - the mixture should fall
easily off the spoon when lightly tapped against the side of the bowl.
4. Stir the fruit into the cake mixture, and spoon into the cake cases,
using a teaspoon. Ask an adult to cook them towards the centre of the
oven for 18-20 minutes until risen, golden and springy to the touch.
5. Ask an adult to remove trays from the oven. Cool slightly, then lift
out with a palette knife. Transfer to a cooling rack until cold.
6. To decorate, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and add the fruit juice
or water a little at a time. Mix to a thick icing. Add food colouring,
or leave half of the icing white and colour the remaining half.
7. Spoon a little icing on to each cake and spread with a knife. Leave
to set. Decorate by sticking on sweets or drawing funny faces with writing
icing.
