Creating the Enchanting Enchilada Sauce:
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth.
Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
Gradually add tomato sauce and broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens. Season with salt to taste.
Assembling the Wet Burritos:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spoon the burrito filling into the center of each flour tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll it into a burrito.
Place the burritos in a baking dish.
Pour the enchanting enchilada sauce generously over the burritos, ensuring they are well-covered.
Sprinkle additional cheese on top for an extra layer of gooey goodness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnishing Your Masterpiece:
Remove the burritos from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, sour cream, and sliced avocado.
