Step-by-Step Instructions
Cook the Beef:
In a large skillet set over medium heat add the ground beef. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Let the beef brown evenly for about eight minutes until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat and transfer beef to a bowl.
Prepare the Taco Fillings:
Cook bacon in a separate pan or bake in the oven until crisp then crumble into small pieces. Shred cheddar cheese wash and dry lettuce and dice pickles into small cubes for easy biting.
Warm the Taco Shells:
Heat the soft taco shells in a dry skillet for thirty seconds on each side until they are warm and pliable. You can wrap in foil and warm in a low oven if making a large batch.
Assemble the Tacos:
Lay out the warmed tacos and layer in the cooked ground beef followed by crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar. Top with lettuce and pickles making sure every bite gets a little bit of everything.
Add Sauce and Serve:
Drizzle burger sauce or mayonnaise over each taco just before serving. Serve hot so the cheese melts slightly and the flavors blend beautifully.
