Instructions

1. Cook beef:

In large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef 6–8 minutes, breaking into crumbles. Drain excess fat.
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and optional salt. Keep warm.

2. Prep components:

Cook bacon until crisp; crumble.
Mix special sauce ingredients in small bowl.
Shred cheese; prep optional add-ins.

3. Warm wraps:

Lightly toast wraps in dry skillet 30 seconds per side (prevents tearing and adds flavor).

4. Assemble burritos:

Lay wrap flat. Spread 1 tbsp special sauce down center.
Layer: seasoned beef → crumbled bacon → shredded cheese → optional add-ins.
Fold in sides, then roll tightly from bottom to top.

5. Crisp (optional but recommended!):

Heat clean skillet over medium heat. Place burrito seam-side down; cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese melts.

6. Serve:

Slice in half diagonally. Serve with extra special sauce, sugar-free salsa, or guacamole.
