How to Make Bacon Tortilla Burger
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Patties
- Season the Ground Beef: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until everything is well incorporated.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Press a small indentation into the center of each patty with your thumb (this helps prevent them from puffing up as they cook).
- Cook the Patties: Heat a grill pan, skillet, or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover the pan or grill to melt the cheese.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
- Crisp the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bacon. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel.
Step 3: Toast the Tortillas
- Warm the Tortillas: In the same skillet, briefly toast each flour tortilla over medium heat until they are slightly crispy and golden, about 1-2 minutes on each side. You can also microwave them for 15-20 seconds if you prefer them softer.
Step 4: Assemble the Bacon Tortilla Burger
- Assemble the Burger: Place each toasted tortilla on a plate. Start by adding the cooked cheddar cheese burger patty in the center of each tortilla.
- Add the Bacon: Place 2 strips of crispy bacon on top of each burger patty.
- Add Toppings: Top with your choice of fresh toppings, such as shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onions, pickles, and a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.
- Wrap It Up: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up, securing the burger and toppings inside. You now have a Bacon Tortilla Burger that’s ready to be devoured.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Slice and Serve: Slice the rolled-up burger in half and serve immediately. You can pair it with a side of crispy fries, chips, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Tips for the Perfect Bacon Tortilla Burger
- Customize the Cheese: Swap out the cheddar cheese for Swiss, pepper jack, or even blue cheese for a unique flavor.
- Add Extra Flavor: If you like a bit of heat, try adding jalapeños or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.
- Grilled Veggies: For extra flavor and texture, add grilled onions and bell peppers to the burger.
- Use Different Meats: While beef is traditional, you can substitute chicken, turkey, or even a veggie patty for a different twist.
- Make It Spicy: For an extra spicy kick, add spicy mayonnaise or sriracha sauce to the tortilla before wrapping.
