Steps
Dice the white onion into small cubes. Place them in a pan with a splash of water and cook until softened.
Once the onion is soft, add the tomato paste to the pan and toast it for a minute to deepen the flavor.
Add the extra-lean ground beef to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook over high heat until fully browned.
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.
Turn off the heat under the meat pan. Add the prepared sauce to the meat mixture and stir thoroughly until well combined.
Place the bacon slices in an air fryer at 200°C (400 °F) (390°F (200 °C)) for approximately 6 minutes until crispy. Once done, chop the bacon into fine pieces.
Briefly heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds to make them more pliable.
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.
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.
