Ingredients
Scale
Wrap and Main Fillings
- 1 soft tortilla wrap
- 3 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 4–5 avocado slices
Sauces and Seasonings
- 2 tbsp natural barbecue sauce
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet until crisp. Chop fresh vegetables including spinach, tomatoes, onions, and slice the avocado. Set all aside for assembly.
- Lay Out the Tortilla: Warm the soft tortilla wrap on a skillet or microwave briefly until pliable to avoid tearing during rolling and ensure even cooking.
- Add the Fillings: Spread a thin layer of natural barbecue sauce over the tortilla. Layer generously with plant-based cheese, then evenly distribute smoked turkey bacon pieces, fresh spinach, diced tomatoes, onions, and avocado slices across the center.
- Roll the Burrito: Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose all fillings securely. Handle gently but firmly to keep the contents inside without squishing.
- Grill to Perfection: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully to melt the cheese inside while crisping the tortilla.
Notes
- Use medium or medium-low heat to ensure cheese melts without burning the tortilla.
- Do not overfill to make rolling and cooking easier.
- Prepare bacon and chop vegetables ahead of time to save time during assembly.
- Press gently with a spatula while grilling to seal the burrito and achieve an even crisp.
- Experiment with layering sauces and fillings to customize the flavor and texture.
