Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb (454 grams) ground beef
- 8 slices crispy bacon
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) creamy cheese sauce
Wrapping and Garnish:
- 4 large tortillas
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Pickles
- Onions
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Render bacon in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, transforming fatty strips into crunchy delights. Transfer to paper towels to absorb excess grease.
- Utilize the same skillet with residual bacon drippings to sauté ground beef. Season with salt and pepper, breaking meat into crumbly fragments until thoroughly browned and no pink remains.
- Select a large, soft tortilla as your canvas. Spread ground beef across the center, creating a protein-rich foundation.
- Strategically layer crispy bacon fragments atop the beef, ensuring maximum flavor distribution.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously, allowing residual heat to initiate gentle melting.
- Enhance the burrito with fresh, crisp elements like chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, tangy pickle slices, and sharp onion pieces.
- Cascade creamy cheese sauce in a luxurious stream, coating ingredients with rich, velvety goodness.
- Execute precise folding technique: tuck sides inward, then roll from bottom, creating a tight, compact bundle.
- Optional finishing touch: briefly sear wrapped burrito in skillet, developing a golden, slightly crisp exterior.
Notes
- Customize the bacon’s crispiness by adjusting cooking time, ensuring it’s not too burnt or too soft for the perfect texture.
- Drain excess beef fat completely to prevent a greasy burrito and maintain a clean, rich flavor profile.
- Choose large, flexible tortillas that can hold all ingredients without tearing, making wrapping easier and more enjoyable.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like pepper jack or smoked gouda for a unique flavor twist on the classic cheeseburger burrito.
