How to Make a Bacon Cheeseburger Burrito

Ready to make this epic burrito? Follow these simple steps for a cheesy, meaty, flavor-packed meal!

1: Prepare the Bacon and Ground Beef

1. Cook the Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
2. Brown the Ground Beef: In the same skillet, add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease if necessary, and set aside.

2: Layer the Burrito Ingredients

1. Lay Out the Tortillas: Place the tortillas flat on a clean surface, ready for assembly.
2. Add the Beef: Spoon a portion of the cooked ground beef onto each tortilla, keeping it centered for easy wrapping.
3. Add the Bacon and Cheese: Break or chop the crispy bacon into pieces and add it on top of the beef. Then, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon.

3: Garnish and Drizzle with Cheese Sauce

1. Add Optional Toppings: If you like, add lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and onions to your burrito for a classic cheeseburger experience.
2. Drizzle the Cheese Sauce: Pour a generous amount of creamy cheese sauce over the fillings. This sauce is what gives the burrito its indulgent, melt-in-your-mouth quality.

4: Wrap and Serve

1. Wrap the Burrito: Fold the sides in, then roll the burrito up tightly from the bottom. Make sure the fillings are secured inside.
2. Serve Warm: If you prefer, you can warm the wrapped burrito in a skillet or on a griddle for 1–2 minutes on each side to give it a toasty exterior.

Serving Suggestions

This burrito is delicious on its own, but here are some extra ideas for serving:

• Serve with Fries: Classic French fries or even sweet potato fries pair wonderfully with this bacon cheeseburger burrito.
• Add a Dipping Sauce: Ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, or extra cheese sauce make great sides for dipping.
• Enjoy with a Side Salad: A crisp side salad can balance the richness of the burrito and add some refreshing contrast.

Tips for Making the Best Cheeseburger Burrito

1. Use Fresh Tortillas: Fresh, large tortillas are key for holding all these tasty fillings. If your tortillas feel stiff, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
2. Cook the Bacon to Your Liking: Whether you prefer crispy or slightly chewy bacon, cook it to your personal taste.
3. Warm the Burrito: For an extra layer of texture, toast your wrapped burrito in a skillet for a crispy exterior.
4. Prep Toppings Ahead: If you’re adding veggies, have them chopped and ready to go for quick assembly.

How to Store Your Bacon Cheeseburger Burrito

If you have leftovers (or you want to make extras), wrap each burrito in foil and store it in the fridge for up to three days. When you’re ready to reheat, simply place the foil-wrapped burrito in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes, or microwave until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make this burrito ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the burritos without the cheese sauce and store them in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, add the cheese sauce before warming them up in a skillet or microwave.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Absolutely! While cheddar adds a classic cheeseburger flavor, you can try Monterey Jack, pepper jack for a bit of spice, or even a sharp gouda.

How can I make this burrito healthier?

Try using ground turkey instead of beef, swap in whole-wheat tortillas, and go light on the cheese sauce. You can also add extra veggies for added nutrients.

What’s the best way to keep the burrito from getting soggy?

If you’re making it to enjoy later, avoid adding wet toppings like tomatoes or pickles until you’re ready to eat. Wrapping the burrito tightly and storing it in foil can also help.
