Instructions

Caramelize Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil and cook the finely chopped onions until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
Cook Ground Beef: In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Make Animal Style Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth and well combined.
Warm Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or microwave them for about 20 seconds until they are pliable and easy to roll.
Assemble Burritos: Lay each tortilla flat and layer with cooked ground beef, caramelized onions, a slice of cheddar cheese, pickles, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes (if using), and a generous drizzle of the Animal Style sauce.
Roll Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling securely, forming a burrito shape.
Optional Toasting: For extra texture and melted cheese, toast the burritos in a clean skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese inside melts.
Serve: Serve the burritos warm with extra Animal Style sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

You can add diced tomatoes for extra freshness or omit if preferred.
Use flour tortillas that are large enough to comfortably hold all the fillings without tearing.
For a spicier kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the Animal Style sauce.
These burritos can be made ahead of time and stored refrigerated; reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Leftover burritos can be wrapped in foil and baked at 350°F for 10 minutes to refresh the texture.
