Amish Wet Burrito Casserole

[magnusfide]

I'm making this one tonight in the DO. Instead of the mushroom soup I'll just make a simple bechamel sauce.

Tacos come in both flour and corn tortillas so I have a hard time with an enchilada being defined by tortilla.

I like my ethnic foods straight. I live in a Dutch-settled area, and many of the restaurants insist of putting chicken gravy on the burritos.:)

When I moved from California to Utah, every Mexican restaurant insisted on making all their burritos wet, red sauce. I like to eat my burritos with my hands and had to get in the habit of always ordering with the caveat that it be dry. BTW, isn't a wet burrito just a large enchilada? Lol!

Yes, with one caveat - enchiladas use corn tortillas. When I was a kid, my parents owned a Mexican restaurant. Burritos were hand held and enchiladas were eaten with a fork. At home, my dad would place our burritos in a baking dish, cover with red sauce, smother in cheese, and pop them in the oven to bake. As kids, this was a special treat for us. I do believe my dad was the first to make these! Too bad he didn't patent them and offer them in the restaurant!

I have made this recipe with cream of chicken soup instead of the mushroom soup and it was yummy!

I'm told they used the cream soups in this recipe because Mexican crema wasn't available. The Amish are pretty good at improvising.

There are Amish in Mexico who are teaching Mennonite children. I wonder if that's where this recipe came from and originally used the crema.

I think his use of a white sauce or gravy in place of the soup would pair well with the taco seasoning.

Thanks!

I made roasted Mexican corn cobs to with it, slathered in mayo and cheese. The casserole turned out tasty. I set the dish inside the DO and used the DO like an oven.

That sounds wonderful!!! Will definitely give this a try. Add a simple Mexican rice or Tex mex corn side and this would be great after a long day.

As always thank you for sharing!
