Best ways to enjoy it
These Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Burritos can shine on their own, but pairing them with sides enhances the experience. Consider serving them with homemade fries, a fresh salad, or a side of spicy salsa. A dollop of sour cream or creamy guacamole on top adds a nice finishing touch. Don’t forget to have some nachos on the side for that ultimate game-day spread!
Storage and reheating tips
If you have leftovers (if you’re lucky!), store the burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, wrap them tightly in foil and freeze for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, simply defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven or on a skillet to regain that crispy texture. Always practice safe food handling by ensuring your leftovers are stored at the correct temperatures.
Helpful cooking tips
For the best results, use a high-fat ground beef (like 80/20) for moisture and flavor. Also, make sure to preheat your skillet before adding the burritos to get that nice sear. If you’re feeling adventurous, add some chopped onions or jalapeños into the beef as it cooks for extra flavor!
Creative twists
Looking to switch things up? Try adding diced tomatoes or diced pickles inside the burrito for a tangy crunch. You could also experiment with cheeses—pepper jack would add a nice kick! For a healthier version, consider using whole wheat tortillas, or make it vegetarian with black beans and diced bell peppers.
