Easy Lasagna Stuffed Burritos; now that’s an easy YES and the PERFECT combination, oh my goodness!
Welcome to lazy persons lasagna 101. This is a recipe I created many years ago, when we’ve all been craving lasagna, but I haven’t have the time to layer, or wait around your oven for half an hour to an hour. This is a 10-15 minute lasagna, without the effort — or the pasta. And you don’t miss the pasta when lasagna meat is enveloped in fluffy tortillas. Making these again this last weekend for the zillionth time, my family were ALL OVER ME to post these. I googled and googled and found so many BURRITO LASAGNA’S (as in, layers of burritos in lasagna-style assembling), but NO lasagna stuffed inside a burrito. Am I really the only one that does this?
Disclaimer: Yes, I am fully aware that this is NOT authentic lasagna, as I am also fully aware that this is not an authentic burrito. This is purely an invention I came up with to get the best of both worlds when I’ve been pressed for time. And it works. Much like these Barbecue Chicken Pizza Tacos. First, we start off making our lasagna meat sauce. The only difference with this sauce is that this is MUCH THICKER than your usual lasagna sauce. Why? To avoid wetting the burritos so much that the meat seeps through the tortillas and your burritos tear up immediately when folding. You don’t want holy burritos, do you? No.
Then, you’re going to open your wraps and assemble your burritos like so: fresh slices of mozzarella, then meat sauce, then more mozzarella slices, then fold, then pour tomato sauce over each burrito, then white sauce, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Did I lose you?
THEN, you’re going to broil (or grill) these lasagna stuffed burritos in your oven until they look like that ? Where the tortillas are golden and crisp; the mozzarella cheese melts through the white sauce, and lasagna smells fill your kitchen.
Welcome to the worlds greatest hybrid. And for dessert: Churro Apple Pie Bowls + Caramel Sauce. Another merging of two of the worlds greatest favourites.
