Carnivore-Friendly Bacon Cheeseburger Burrito

Ingredients:

• For the Burrito:

  • 1-2 large ground beef patties (depending on your size preference)
  • 6-8 slices of crispy bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or other cheese of choice)
  • ½ cup cream cheese (for the creamy cheese sauce)
  • 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream (to make the sauce smooth)
  • Optional: 1 egg, scrambled (for added protein and texture in the burrito)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

• For the “Wrap” (Carnivore-Friendly Option):

  • Instead of a traditional flour tortilla, use a cheese crust or egg-based wrap to stay within carnivore guidelines. Here’s a simple cheese crust:
    • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 1 large egg
    • Pinch of salt and pepper
    • Optional: Add a little pork rind or crushed pork Panko to help with the structure (if you need extra firmness)

Instructions:

Making the Carnivore-Friendly Wrap:

1. Prepare the cheese crust:
   • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • In a bowl, whisk together the 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 large egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
   • Spread the mixture evenly into a large, greased baking sheet, forming a thin, even circle.
   • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese crust is golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let it cool a bit before using it as your burrito “wrap.”

Preparing the Meat & Toppings:

2. Cook the ground beef patties:

   • Season the ground beef patties with salt and pepper, and cook them in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned and cooked through.
   • Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Crisp the bacon:

   • Fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then set aside.

4. Make the creamy cheese sauce:

   • In a small saucepan, heat the cream cheese with the heavy cream over low heat. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
   • Add in the shredded cheddar cheese and continue stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes thick and creamy.

Assembling the Burrito:

5. Layer the filling:

   • Lay the cheese crust on a flat surface.
   • Place the cooked ground beef patties in the center.
   • Add the crispy bacon on top of the beef.
   • Pour the creamy cheese sauce generously over the meat and bacon.

6. Roll the burrito:

   • Carefully fold the sides of the cheese crust over the filling, then roll it up like a burrito, securing the contents inside.

7. Serve:

   • Cut the burrito in half and enjoy this indulgent, carnivore-friendly creation!
