Next, prepare your tortillas. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, or heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 minute per side to make them soft and pliable. This makes rolling the burritos much easier and prevents them from tearing.
Once the tortillas are warmed, place a generous portion of the beef and bacon mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add the shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced pickles on top of the meat mixture. Drizzle a little ketchup and mustard over the filling for that classic cheeseburger flavor.
To roll the burrito, fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside. Be sure to roll it as tightly as possible to avoid the burrito opening up while cooking.
If desired, you can toast the burrito to make the outside crispy. Heat a little oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled-up burrito seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy. This step adds an extra layer of flavor and texture to the burrito.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger Burrito warm, with extra ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping. You can also pair it with a side of crispy fries, onion rings, or a light salad for a complete meal. These burritos are filling on their own, but you can make them even more indulgent by topping them with cheese or drizzling with additional sauce!
Make-Ahead & Storage
If you’re making these burritos ahead of time, you can assemble them and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before cooking. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil. To reheat, wrap them in foil and bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
