👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1

    Add some lean ground beef to a pan, smash it down, and don't touch it until it forms a golden brown crust.

  2. 2

    When the meat is almost done cooking, chop it up, add in all of the ingredients, and cook on low heat for another 2 minutes while mixing everything together.

  3. 3

    Let the filling cool down a little bit, and in the meantime, prepare the low-calorie burger sauce.

  4. 4

    Assemble the burritos, wrap them in aluminum foil, and enjoy.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Heat your pan to 400-450°F before adding the ground beef - this temperature creates the Maillard reaction within 60-90 seconds for optimal crust formation.technique400-450°F
  • Press the ground beef to 1/4 inch thickness using a flat spatula because thinner patties have 3x more surface area for browning and cook 40% faster.technique1/4 inch thickness
  • Cool your filling to below 140°F before wrapping because steam from hot filling will make tortillas soggy and create condensation inside the foil.timingbelow 140°F
  • Wrap burritos in foil with seams facing down and crimp edges tightly to create a steam pocket that keeps filling moist while preventing leakage.technique
  • Use 80/20 ground beef rather than lean for smashburgers because the 20% fat content prevents sticking and creates better browning through fat rendering.ingredient80/20 ratio
