    Delicious Wet Burrito Casserole

    Published: May 26, 2021 · Updated: May 26, 2021 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    I have written a lot about the nexus between Amish culture and south-of-the-border cuisine in recipes like this Delicious Wet Burrito Casserole. How did tacos and tortillas become such a part of Amish culinary culture? Let's explore...

    Back when I first started visiting Amish communities almost 30 years ago, jalapeño peppers were starting to be seen in Amish gardens and homemade salsas were just starting to become popular. A couple of things drove this trend among the Amish.

    First, rural America, where the Amish live, was experiencing an influx of Hispanic newcomers, taking jobs in processing plants and factories. The two culinary cultures bumped up against one another and the Amish discovered many Hispanic foods were to their liking and natural fits. For instance, most Amish homemakers grew plenty of tomatoes. Well, what’s the main ingredient in salsa? Tomatoes. There were just a lot of natural overlaps like this

    Secondly, you also have a lot of back-and-forth over the border with Mexico between Mennonites visiting family. There are no Amish settlements in Mexico, but there are large Mennonite communities. Foods get tried, recipes get passed around, and soon new culinary traditions take root.
    This Delicious wet burrito casserole is a perfect example of an "adopted" recipe. Totally a different culinary culture, but the Amish have adopted it and made it their own.

    Wet Burrito Ingredients

    Use the freshest burger meat you can get your hands on.

    Browned meat

    Cook it until it is nice and brown and season it up with the taco mix.

    Cut the tortillas into bite-sized pieces.

    Then start making layers of the tortillas, meat, sour cream, etc.
