Fit Crispy McBacon Style Burrito

Ingredients

• 6 Tortillas (about 50g each)
• 90 g Light protein cheese (grated)
• 3 slices Bacon (to be air-fried until crispy)
• 2 Pickles (finely chopped)
• 50 g Light mayonnaise
• 110 g Greek yogurt
• 1 g Salt (for the sauce)
• Sweet paprika (to taste)
• Garlic powder (to taste)
• 1 tsp Beef extract or bouillon (bouillon cube or meat extract)
• 25 g Sugar-free ketchup (zero-sugar ketchup)
• 20 g Mustard (yellow or dijon mustard)
• 400 g Extra-lean ground beef (extra-lean mince)
• 1 White onion (diced)
• 1 g Salt (for the meat)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• 25 g Tomato paste (double concentrated tomato paste)
• Extra virgin olive oil spray (for cooking)

Steps

1. 1

   Dice the white onion into small cubes. Place them in a pan with a splash of water and cook until softened.

2. 2

   Once the onion is soft, add the tomato paste to the pan and toast it for a minute to deepen the flavor.

3. 3

   Add the extra-lean ground beef to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook over high heat until fully browned.

4. 4

   Prepare the sauce: Finely chop the pickles. In a bowl, combine the chopped pickles, light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, 1g salt, sweet paprika, garlic powder, beef extract (or bouillon), sugar-free ketchup, and mustard. Mix well.

5. 5

   Turn off the heat under the meat pan. Add the prepared sauce to the meat mixture and stir thoroughly until well combined.

6. 6

   Place the bacon slices in an air fryer at 200°C (390°F) for approximately 6 minutes until crispy. Once done, chop the bacon into fine pieces.

7. 7

   Briefly heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds to make them more pliable.

8. 8

   Assemble the burritos: Place a portion of the meat and sauce mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with the grated protein cheese and the chopped crispy bacon.

9. 9

   Fold and close the tortillas. Place them in a pan over high heat (using a spray of olive oil if needed) to sear the outside and seal the burritos shut.
