Bacon Cheeseburger Tacos Recipe

Instructions

1. Cook the Ground Beef

• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add 1 lb of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula as it browns.
• Season the beef with salt and pepper or any preferred spices (garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika are great choices).
• Cook the beef thoroughly, stirring occasionally until the meat is browned and fully cooked through, about 7–10 minutes.
• Drain any excess fat from the skillet to avoid soggy tacos.

2. Cook the Turkey Bacon

• While the beef is cooking, prepare the turkey bacon.
• Cook 4 slices of turkey bacon in a separate pan over medium heat until crispy, about 4–5 minutes per side.
• Remove the bacon from the pan, let it cool slightly, and then crumble it into small pieces.

3. Prepare the Toppings

• Shred 1/2 cup of lettuce and set aside.
• Dice 1/4 cup of pickles and 1/4 cup of onions.
• Shred 1 cup of cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).

4. Warm the Taco Shells

• To ensure your taco shells are warm and crispy, heat them in the oven for 2–3 minutes at 350°F, or follow the package instructions for microwaving.

5. Assemble the Tacos

• Layer the cooked ground beef into the taco shells as the base.
• Add crumbled turkey bacon on top of the beef for extra crunch and flavor.
• Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the beef and bacon.
• Top each taco with fresh ingredients like lettuce, diced pickles, and onions.

6. Add the Sauce

• Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the taco fillings for a classic cheeseburger taste. You can adjust the amount based on personal preference.

7. Serve and Enjoy

• Serve immediately while the taco shells are still crisp, and the fillings are fresh. These Bacon Cheeseburger Tacos are best enjoyed hot!
