Ultimate Smash Burger Burrito with Bacon-Infused Beef and Queso Sauce

1.Preheat your meat grinder according to the manufacturer's instructions.

2.Combine the beef chuck, short rib, brisket, and bacon chunks in a large bowl.

3.Pass the meat mixture through the meat grinder using a coarse grind setting. Repeat the grinding process if you prefer a finer texture.

4.In a large bowl, mix the ground meat with tajin seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. Do not overmix.

5.Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and form into loose balls.

6.Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil.

7.Place the meat balls onto the hot skillet and immediately smash them down with a heavy spatula or burger press to form thin patties. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are crispy and browned.

8.Flip the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through.

9.In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

10.Warm the tortillas on the skillet or griddle until pliable.

11.Assemble the burritos by placing a cooked patty in the center of each tortilla. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, caramelized onions, and a generous drizzle of queso sauce.

12.Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Serve immediately.
