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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Season the beef with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the cooked beans and chopped bacon to the skillet. Mix everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 10

Serve immediately, or wrap the burritos in foil to keep them warm. Enjoy your Big Beefy Bacon Bean Burritos!
