How to Make Big Beefy Bacon Bean Burritos

  1. Cook bacon until crisp. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  2. Sauté chopped onion in reserved bacon grease until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
  4. Stir in chili sauce, barbecue sauce, liquid smoke, cocoa powder, chili powder, cumin, beans, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Bring to a simmer, stirring gently, until heated through and flavors have melded (about 5 minutes).
  6. Warm tortillas according to package directions.
  7. Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each tortilla.
  8. Fold tortillas to create burritos.
  9. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and crushed tortilla chips.
  10. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-12 minutes, or broil for 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Garnish with sour cream or guacamole, if desired.
  12. Serve immediately with Mexican rice and taco salad, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
