🥓🍔 Carnivore-Friendly Bacon Cheeseburger Burrito
📖 Description
This Carnivore Bacon Cheeseburger Burrito wraps everything you love about a classic bacon cheeseburger into a zero-carb, meat-based “tortilla.” Instead of flour wraps, we use a thin egg-and-cheese layer to hold juicy ground beef, crispy bacon, and melted cheese. It’s handheld, filling, and perfect for strict carnivore or keto lifestyles.
