Ingredients
flour tortillas
2 (Warmed in the microwave)
large avocado
1 (Mashed)
bacon slices
8 (Cooked until crispy)
taco sauce
6 tablespoons (Drizzled over the filling)
Instructions
1
In a large skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until it reaches a crispy texture, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess grease.
2
While the bacon cools, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until you achieve a smooth, guacamole-like consistency. Season with salt if desired.
3
To warm the tortillas, place one tortilla on a microwave-safe plate and heat it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until pliable. Repeat with the second tortilla.
4
On each warmed tortilla, lay 4 slices of crispy bacon in the center. Top each with half of the mashed avocado and drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of taco sauce over the filling.
5
Fold in the sides of each tortilla over the fillings, then roll up from the bottom to secure the contents. Press gently to help the tortillas seal.
6
For added warmth and to adhere the tortilla better, microwave each assembled burrito for an additional 15 seconds.
7
Carefully slice the burritos in half and serve immediately, enjoying the delicious combination of flavors!
