Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 6 strips of bacon
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8 soft flour tortillas

Fresh Toppings

  • 1 cup chopped lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red or white onions
  • 1/4 cup sliced pickles

Condiments

  • Ketchup, to taste
  • Mustard, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: Fry bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare the Ground Beef: In the same skillet, drain most of the bacon fat leaving a little for flavor. Add ground beef and cook over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder for extra depth.
  3. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the cooked beef and cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes so the cheese melts thoroughly and binds with the meat.
  4. Warm the Taco Shells: While the beef finishes cooking, warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable, perfect for folding without breaking.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Layer the beef and cheese mixture onto each tortilla, then top with crispy bacon pieces, chopped tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then fold and enjoy immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

  • Use high-quality lean ground beef for the best flavor and texture.
  • Drain bacon well to keep its crispiness and avoid soggy tacos.
  • Pat tomatoes dry if very watery to prevent soggy taco shells.
  • Sharp cheddar melts best and gives authentic cheeseburger flavor.
  • Warm tortillas just enough to soften, making them easy to fold without breaking.
