Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 2 fresh jalapeños, diced (seeds removed for milder heat)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Assembly and Cooking

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Butter or oil for grilling (about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: Fry the thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease. Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces for easy filling.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños (seeds removed if desired), chopped green onions, and garlic powder. Fold in the crispy bacon last to maintain crunchiness.
  3. Assemble the Burritos: Lay each large flour tortilla flat and spread a generous amount of the filling evenly down the center. Fold the sides in and then roll the tortilla tightly to fully enclose the filling.
  4. Grill the Burritos: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with butter or oil. Place each burrito seam-side down and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown, crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the burritos from heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes before slicing to help the filling set, making them easier to eat without spilling.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling consistency.
  • Brush butter on tortillas before grilling for an irresistible golden crisp.
  • Roll burritos tightly to prevent filling leakage while grilling.
  • Adjust spice by including or removing jalapeño seeds.
  • Let burritos rest a minute after grilling to avoid oozing filling.
