Ingredients

  • 1 large tortilla (12-inch)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 slices crispy bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
  • 0.25 cup diced red onions
  • 0.25 cup dill pickles, chopped
  • 0.25 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for cooking Olive oil
  • optional hot sauce for extra kick

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add the chopped bacon to the beef in the skillet. Stir together and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bacon is crispy.
  3. While the beef and bacon are cooking, warm the tortilla in a dry pan over low heat for about 1 minute on each side until it’s pliable.
  4. Lay the warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, layer the beef and bacon mixture, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Add diced tomatoes, onions, pickles, and lettuce. Drizzle with ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce if desired.
  5. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it from the bottom to the top, making sure to keep the filling secure inside the wrap.
  6. Return the burrito to the skillet over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute before slicing in half.

💡 Chef's Notes

Serve the burrito on a large plate, sliced in half to show off the colorful filling. Garnish with extra pickles and a side of dipping sauce, such as chipotle ranch. Enjoy!
