Let’s Do This

Bacon Game Strong (15 minutes):

1. Start with the bacon because, well, bacon. Lay those strips in a cold skillet and cook LOW AND SLOW. Nobody wants burnt bacon.
2. If you’re feeling extra, brush them with a little BBQ sauce or sprinkle some brown sugar in the last couple minutes of cooking. Total game-changer.
3. Once crispy, drain on paper towels. Chop or crumble when cool enough to handle.

Burger Situation (10 minutes):

1. In the same skillet (hello, leftover bacon fat!), start cooking your diced onions until they’re soft and just starting to caramelize.
2. Add garlic, cook for another 30 seconds until it’s fragrant but not burnt.
3. Crank up the heat to medium-high, add your ground beef.
4. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon, add worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper.
5. Cook until there’s no pink left. Nobody wants a food poisoning adventure.
6. Drain excess fat if it looks like an oil slick. A little fat is good, a swimming pool is not.

Wrap Assembly (5 minutes):

1. Warm your tortillas. Microwave works, but a quick 30 seconds in a dry skillet is even better.
2. Lay out tortilla. Sprinkle cheese right in the center – this is the glue that’s gonna hold everything together.
3. Add a generous scoop of your burger mixture right on top of the cheese.
4. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the meat.
5. Add any bonus toppings you’re into.

The Wrap Technique:

1. Fold in the sides of the tortilla.
2. Starting from the bottom, tightly roll up the wrap.
3. For extra crispy magic, you can give it a quick toast in a hot skillet seam-side down.

Magic Sauce (If You’re Feeling It):

1. Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Taste and adjust. More hot sauce? Do it. More pickle juice? Live your best life.
3. Drizzle over the wrap or use as a dipping sauce.

A: Totally! Just add a little extra fat (olive oil) and maybe some extra seasoning. Turkey can be a bit bland.

Q: How do I prevent my wrap from getting soggy?
A: Pat your meat mixture dry, don’t overload with wet toppings, and toast the wrap seam-side down to seal it.

Q: My wrap always falls apart. Help!
A: Cheese is your friend – use it as “glue”. Roll tight, and practice makes perfect.

Q: Can kids help make these?
A: 100%! Let them choose toppings, help roll (supervised), and mix the magic sauce.

Q: Any vegetarian options?
A: Black beans, beyond meat crumbles, or a mix of roasted veggies work great. Get creative!
