Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1.5 cups Cooked beans (black beans or pinto beans)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Place a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, remove excess bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Season the beef with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Add the cooked beans and chopped bacon to the skillet. Mix everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Warm the flour tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for 20-30 seconds or by toasting them in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side.
Assemble the burritos: Place a generous scoop of the beef and bacon mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Serve immediately, or wrap the burritos in foil to keep them warm. Enjoy your Big Beefy Bacon Bean Burritos!
