Wet Burrito

01 / ABOUT THE DISH

About the dish

This burrito variety is especially popular in Michigan, although it can sometimes be found throughout the Unites States, in California, Washington, and Texas. The burrito is called wet because it is smothered in red chile sauce, and the whole thing is then topped with heaps of melted cheese. It is quite heavy and filling, and can be filled with anything from shredded beef to beans and rice. Although its history is quite murky, some people claim that it originated in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
