Directions
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until browned and fully cooked. Break up the meat into small crumbles as it cooks for even texture.
- Make the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, combine ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard. Stir until smooth. This creamy, tangy sauce is what gives the burritos that “Animal Style” flavor.
- Prepare the Onions: Caramelize or sauté the diced onions in a separate skillet over medium heat with a small drizzle of oil. Cook until soft, sweet, and lightly golden.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay a flour tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of special sauce in the center. Top with a portion of cooked beef, shredded cheddar, diced pickles, and caramelized onions. Add shredded lettuce or tomato slices if desired.
- Roll the Burrito: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from one end to the other. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Optional Grilling: For a crispier exterior and melty cheese, heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and grill for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
- Serve Hot: Slice in half if desired and serve immediately. Add extra special sauce, pickles, or ketchup on the side for dipping.
