Ingredients:
- 5 slices of bacon
- 5-6 servings of lean ground beef
- 4 sweet onions, chopped
- 1 cup chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 6 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 package of flour tortillas
- 4 ounces of tortilla chips
- Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese blend (as desired)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Bacon: In a skillet, fry the bacon until it’s crisp. Drain it on a paper towel to remove excess grease.
-
-
Sauté Onions: In the same skillet with the bacon fat, sauté the chopped onions until they are soft and translucent.
-
Cook Ground Beef: Add the lean ground beef to the skillet with the onions, continuing to sauté until the beef is browned and cooked through.
-
Add Sauces and Spices: Incorporate the chili sauce, barbecue sauce, liquid smoke, cocoa powder, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes into the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir gently until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
-
Assemble Burritos: Spoon approximately ¼ of the beef mixture onto each flour tortilla. Fold the tortillas around the filling to form burritos.
-
Top with Cheese and Chips: Generously sprinkle the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese blend, along with crumbled tortilla chips, on top of each burrito.
-
Bake or Broil: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled burritos in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown. Alternatively, you can broil them for a faster cooking time.
-
Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish the burritos with sour cream or guacamole if desired. Serve alongside Mexican rice and taco salad for a complete meal experience.
