Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup pickles, chopped
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Break apart with a spatula, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Crumble the cooked bacon into the skillet with the beef. Stir in the diced onions and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20 seconds.
- Place one warm tortilla on a clean surface. Add a generous scoop of the beef and bacon mixture in the center.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped pickles, and a dollop of sour cream, ketchup, and mustard.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Assemble the remaining burritos with the rest of the filling.
- In the same skillet, add a little olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- For extra crispiness, cook for an additional minute on each side, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from skillet and let cool for a minute. Slice in half diagonally.
- Serve with extra sour cream, ketchup, or mustard on the side. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions if desired.
- Dig in and savor your homemade bacon cheeseburger burritos!
