Notes
Use Hatch brand green enchilada sauceif you can find it. The flavors are authentic and bring out the best in the green chile sauce.
For extra creaminess, add a bit more sour cream to the burrito filling.
To make this dish spicier, swap out the mild green chiles for medium or hot varieties.
You can also add cooked rice or beans to the filling for a heartier burrito.
