Carnivore Bacon Cheeseburger Burrito with Bacon & Creamy Cheese Sauce
Ingredients:
-
For the burrito:
- 1 lb ground beef (choose a fattier blend, like 80/20)
- 6 slices of bacon
- 4 oz cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 2 oz heavy cream (for the creamy cheese sauce)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
-
For the “tortilla” wrap:
- 1 large steak or 4 slices of bacon (to use as the wrap)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the beef:
- Start by cooking the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Season it with salt and pepper and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
-
Cook the bacon:
- In a separate skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. This will provide the crunch and savory flavor that makes the dish irresistible. Once cooked, drain the excess fat and set aside.
-
Make the creamy cheese sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and cheddar cheese. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add more cheese until it reaches your desired consistency. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.

Create the “tortilla” wrap:
- For the carnivore-friendly tortilla, you have two options:
- Steak wrap: Cook a large steak (like ribeye or flank steak) to your preferred doneness. Once cooked, slice the steak thinly and lay the pieces flat to form a “wrap.”
- Bacon wrap: Lay out 4 slices of bacon side-by-side and place them in the skillet to crisp them up further, creating a sturdy base to wrap the burrito ingredients.
- For the carnivore-friendly tortilla, you have two options:
-
Assemble the burrito:
- Lay your steak slices or bacon “tortilla” on a flat surface. Place the cooked ground beef in the center, then add the crispy bacon. Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the top of the meat and bacon, letting it melt together for an extra indulgent flavor.
-
Wrap it up:
- Carefully fold the sides of your steak or bacon “tortilla” over the filling to form a burrito-like shape. Serve immediately and enjoy your carnivore-friendly burrito.
