Huge Bacon Cheeseburger Burrito
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced pickles
1/2 cup diced red onion
For the Creamy Cheese Sauce:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp mustard powder optional
Salt and pepper to taste
For Assembly:
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup ketchup optional, for drizzling
Directions:
Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Break up the beef as it cooks and stir until browned. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Make the Cheese Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Gradually add the milk, whisking until smooth. Once the mixture begins to thicken, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and mustard powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm on low heat.
Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a generous portion of cooked beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, and diced pickles and onions. Drizzle some creamy cheese sauce over the top.
Roll the Burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll it up from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Optional Grilling: For added crispness, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly toast each burrito for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Serve with extra cheese sauce on the side for dipping, and enjoy this indulgent, cheesy creation!
