Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
  • 6–8 bacon strips
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8 small flour tortillas

Fresh Toppings

  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ½ cup diced tomato
  • ½ cup pickles, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

Condiments & Seasonings

  • Ketchup, to taste
  • Mustard, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: Start by frying bacon strips over medium heat until they’re crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess grease while you prepare the beef.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: In the same pan, using some of the bacon drippings for extra flavor, add ground beef. Season with salt and pepper and cook until fully browned and slightly crispy on the edges, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Gently warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable—this prevents breaking when folding the tacos.
  4. Assemble the Tacos: Layer the beef into each tortilla, then crumble crispy bacon over the top. Add shredded cheddar cheese while the beef is still warm, so it melts nicely.
  5. Add Fresh Toppings: Finish your Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Tacos with diced onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles. Drizzle ketchup and mustard to taste before folding and serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to allow beef to brown properly; cook in batches if needed.
  • Use thick-cut bacon for better texture and smoky flavor.
  • Keep tortillas warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel until serving.
  • Add cheese immediately after cooking beef to let it melt naturally from residual heat.
  • Set up a taco bar with toppings for personal customization.
