Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Tacos Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juicy flavor)
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 8 small taco-sized tortillas (flour or corn)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard (optional)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup dill pickle slices (optional)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
Instructions:
- Cook the ground beef:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon until fully browned (about 7-8 minutes).
- Drain excess fat from the skillet, then stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors combine. Remove from heat.
- Cook the bacon:
- While the beef is cooking, cook the bacon in a separate pan or oven until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble once cooled.
- Prepare the cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on each tortilla.
- Place the tortillas in a large, dry skillet over medium heat, and let the cheese melt. This will take about 1-2 minutes.
- Once the cheese melts, remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Assemble the tacos:
- Spread a little mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard (if using) on each cheesy tortilla.
- Add a spoonful of the seasoned ground beef to each tortilla.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the beef.
- Add toppings:
- Add your favorite burger toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, dill pickle slices, and red onion.
- Serve:
- Fold the tacos and serve them immediately while they’re still warm.
Optional Additions:
- Avocado slices for creaminess.
- Jalapeños if you like a little heat.
- Ranch dressing or your favorite burger sauce as a drizzle on top.
