Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Cheese

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Produce & Toppings

  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ½ cup sliced pickles

Condiments & Seasonings

  • Ketchup, to taste
  • Mustard, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Other

  • 810 small flour tortillas

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 fat and keep crispy while preparing other ingredients.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: Drain excess bacon fat from the skillet, then add ground beef. Season with salt and pepper and break apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the cooked ground beef. Cover with a lid and allow the cheese to melt evenly until gooey and melted.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds until soft and pliable.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with crispy bacon pieces, diced onion, sliced pickles, and add dollops of ketchup and mustard. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh diced onions and pickles for added flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcook the ground beef to retain juiciness.
  • Cook bacon separately and add just before serving to keep it crispy.
  • Cover the skillet while melting cheese to prevent drying out the meat.
  • Warm tortillas properly by wrapping in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds for softness and flexibility.
