Huge Bacon Cheeseburger Burrito (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Meat Components

01 - 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended for flavor)
02 - 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
03 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Fresh Toppings

04 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/2 cup diced onions (red or white)
06 - 1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes
07 - 1/2 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
08 - 1/4 cup sliced dill pickles

→ Sauces

09 - 1/4 cup ketchup
10 - 1/4 cup yellow mustard
11 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise

→ Wraps

12 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-12 inch size)
13 - Cooking spray or additional oil for crisping

# Instructions:

01 - In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Save a tablespoon of the bacon grease in the pan for cooking the beef for extra flavor, if desired.
02 - In the same skillet (with or without the reserved bacon grease), add the ground beef and cook over medium heat. Break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks until it's browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain any excess grease from the pan and set the cooked beef aside.
03 - While the meat is cooking, prepare your fresh ingredients. Shred the lettuce, dice the onions and tomatoes, slice the pickles, and shred the cheese if not pre-shredded. Arrange all toppings in small bowls to create an assembly line for easy burrito building.
04 - Place the flour tortillas in the microwave between two slightly damp paper towels and heat for about 20-30 seconds until warm and pliable. This makes them easier to fold without tearing. Alternatively, you can warm them one at a time in a dry skillet for about 15 seconds per side.
05 - Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise in a strip down the center of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches clear on each end. Add about 1/4 of the cooked ground beef (roughly 1/2 cup) on top of the mayonnaise.
06 - Layer on about 1/4 of the crumbled bacon, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Add approximately 2 tablespoons each of the diced onions, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. Add a few pickle slices, then drizzle with about 1 tablespoon each of ketchup and mustard. Try to keep the fillings centered in a strip along the tortilla.
07 - To wrap the burrito, fold in both sides of the tortilla over the fillings. Then, holding the sides in place, fold up the bottom edge and tightly roll the tortilla away from you, enclosing all the fillings. The key is to keep it tight without tearing the tortilla. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
08 - Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Place the wrapped burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until evenly crisped all over.
09 - Remove the burritos from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. This allows the cheese to set slightly so it doesn't all run out when you cut them. Slice each burrito in half on a diagonal and serve immediately while hot and crispy. For an extra touch, serve with additional ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise on the side for dipping.

# Notes:

01 - This burrito combines all the flavors of a classic bacon cheeseburger in a convenient hand-held form that's perfect for a casual dinner, game day, or anytime you're craving something hearty and satisfying.
02 - Feel free to customize your burrito with your favorite burger toppings - try adding avocado slices, jalapeños for heat, different cheese varieties, or even a special sauce like Thousand Island dressing for a Big Mac-inspired flavor.
03 - For a complete meal, serve with french fries, potato chips, or a simple side salad to balance the richness of the burrito.
04 - The final crisping step adds amazing texture, but you can skip it if you prefer a softer burrito. These are also great prepared ahead and wrapped in foil for a quick meal on the go.
