Description
Easy loaded bacon cheeseburger tacos are a high-protein, family-friendly dinner made in under 30 minutes. Juicy beef, crispy bacon, cheddar, and burger toppings all wrapped in soft taco shells.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound cooked bacon, crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/4 cup diced pickles
8 soft taco shells
1/4 cup burger sauce or mayonnaise
Instructions
1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as you go. I usually drain most of the fat, but I leave a little it gives the flavor backbone.
2. Warm the soft taco shells. I toss them right onto the burner or pan for a few seconds per side. Makes them toasty and soft like a hug.
3. Now comes the fun. Fill each taco shell with beef, crumble on the bacon, then layer in the cheddar. This combo? It’s a classic for a reason.
4. Add lettuce and pickles for that burger crunch, then finish with a drizzle of burger sauce or mayonnaise. Messy is good.
5. Serve hot. And don’t wait for compliments they’ll come between bites.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add jalapeños or chipotle mayo.
Want a crunch? Sprinkle with crushed chips or fried onions.
