Instructions
Follow these steps to create a loaded burrito that’s bursting with cheeseburger flavors.
Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 300g ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
- Season with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and set aside in a bowl.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon and Onions
- In the same skillet, cook 4 slices bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, let cool, then crumble into small pieces.
- In a small skillet, sauté 1 small diced onion in 1 tsp oil or bacon fat over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until soft and golden. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Burger Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp ketchup, and 1 tbsp yellow mustard until smooth. Set aside.
Step 4: Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce (If Homemade)
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Whisk in 1 tbsp flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
- Slowly whisk in ½ cup milk, stirring until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, add ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese and a pinch of salt, stirring until melted and creamy. Remove from heat. (If using store-bought, warm ¼ cup cheese sauce gently before use.)
Step 5: Warm the Tortillas
- Heat a large, dry skillet over medium heat. Place 1 flour tortilla in the skillet for 20-30 seconds per side until soft and pliable. Repeat with the second tortilla. Alternatively, microwave each tortilla for 15 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel.
Step 6: Assemble the Burritos
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, layer half of the following: cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, sautéed onions, shredded lettuce, and 2 tomato slices.
- Drizzle with 2 tbsp creamy burger sauce and 2 tbsp creamy cheese sauce.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll upward to seal, keeping the seam side down. Repeat with the second tortilla.
Step 7: Optional Grilling and Serve
- For a crispy exterior, place the burrito seam-side down in a hot skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. (Optional but adds texture!)
- Slice each burrito in half diagonally and serve with extra cheese sauce, pickles, or jalapeños for dipping. Garnish with parsley or chives if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- Main Dish: Serve with fries, tater tots, or a side salad for a complete meal.
- Game Day: Pair with nachos or wings for a crowd-pleasing spread.
- Dipping Sauces: Offer ranch, BBQ, or extra burger sauce on the side.
- Kid-Friendly: Omit onions or spicy garnishes for picky eaters.
