Instructions:
- Cook the Beef:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and diced onion until browned and fully cooked, about 8–10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. - Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together yellow mustard, mayo, ketchup, and relish. This creates the classic “animal style” sauce. - Assemble the Burritos:
On each tortilla, spoon the beef mixture in the center. Drizzle with the animal-style sauce. Top with shredded cheddar, one slice of American cheese, and diced red onions. Add optional lettuce or pickles. - Wrap and Toast:
Roll up the burritos tightly, folding in the sides. In a clean skillet over medium heat, toast each burrito seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese has melted. - Serve:
Slice in half and serve immediately with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
Variations:
- Spicy Kick: Add pickled jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Double Meat: Use a mix of ground beef and chopped bacon for a smoky upgrade.
- Low-Carb Option: Wrap in lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a keto-friendly version.
Tips:
- Caramelizing the onions before mixing into the beef gives the burrito an authentic animal-style taste.
- Don’t skip toasting the burrito—it adds a crispy finish and helps seal everything together.
- To save time, prep the sauce and toppings while the beef is cooking.
