### **How to Make Bacon Tortilla Burger**
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Beef Patties**
1. **Season the Ground Beef**: In a large bowl, combine the **ground beef** with **taco seasoning**, **salt**, and **pepper**. Mix gently until everything is well incorporated.
2. **Shape the Patties**: Divide the seasoned beef into **4 equal portions** and shape them into burger patties. Press a small indentation into the center of each patty with your thumb (this helps prevent them from puffing up as they cook).
3. **Cook the Patties**: Heat a **grill pan**, **skillet**, or **grill** over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about **4-5 minutes per side**, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of **cheddar cheese** on top of each patty and cover the pan or grill to melt the cheese.
#### **Step 2: Cook the Bacon**
1. **Crisp the Bacon**: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the **bacon strips** until crispy. This should take about **5-7 minutes**, depending on the thickness of your bacon. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel.
#### **Step 3: Toast the Tortillas**
1. **Warm the Tortillas**: In the same skillet, briefly toast each **flour tortilla** over medium heat until they are slightly crispy and golden, about **1-2 minutes** on each side. You can also microwave them for **15-20 seconds** if you prefer them softer.
#### **Step 4: Assemble the Bacon Tortilla Burger**
1. **Assemble the Burger**: Place each toasted tortilla on a plate. Start by adding the cooked **cheddar cheese burger patty** in the center of each tortilla.
2. **Add the Bacon**: Place **2 strips of crispy bacon** on top of each burger patty.
3. **Add Toppings**: Top with your choice of fresh toppings, such as **shredded lettuce**, **sliced tomatoes**, **onions**, **pickles**, and a dollop of **sour cream** or **guacamole**.
4. **Wrap It Up**: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up, securing the burger and toppings inside. You now have a **Bacon Tortilla Burger** that’s ready to be devoured.
#### **Step 5: Serve and Enjoy**
1. **Slice and Serve**: Slice the rolled-up burger in half and serve immediately. You can pair it with a side of **crispy fries**, **chips**, or a **fresh salad** for a complete meal.
