Directions to follow
Ready to make these irresistible burritos? Follow these steps:
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef until fully browned, making sure to drain any excess fat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef with the crumbled bacon, both cheeses, mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Stir well until everything is well coated and mixed.
Warm your tortillas in another skillet just enough to make them pliable.
Place a generous scoop of the filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly into burritos, tucking in the ends for a secure wrap.
Serve your burritos hot. Feel free to add extra toppings such as diced onions, jalapeños, or additional cheese on top!
Best ways to enjoy it
To make your meal even more delightful, consider serving these burritos with a side of crispy tortilla chips and salsa or a simple fresh salad. A dollop of sour cream or guacamole on the side can also elevate the flavors. And don’t forget to pair it with a cold beverage—it’s perfect for those casual lunches or relaxed dinner evenings.
Storage and reheating tips
If you have leftovers (which is rarely the case), store them in an airtight container in the fridge, where they will stay fresh for up to 3 days. When ready to enjoy, reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through. For longer storage, you can freeze the burritos before cooking. Just wrap them tightly in plastic and foil; they can be frozen for up to 3 months. Always ensure you handle and store food safely to avoid any foodborne illnesses.
Helpful cooking tips
For best results, consider using fresh ingredients for maximum flavor. Searing the beef well adds a lovely depth to the filling. If you want a spicier kick, feel free to add your favorite hot sauce to the mixture! Additionally, giving your tortillas a quick warm-up not only makes them easier to roll but enhances their flavor too.
Creative twists
Want to switch things up? Try adding different proteins like grilled chicken or even shredded pork for variation. You could also play with the cheeses—pepper jack adds a wonderful spice! Consider toppings like avocado slices or fresh cilantro for added freshness, or even swapping mayo for Greek yogurt for a tangy kick.
