Storage Tips
Store all the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Warm the beef and bacon before assembling fresh tacos for best texture. Tacos already assembled do not keep as well since the shells soften quickly.
Ingredient Substitutions
Ground turkey or chicken can replace the ground beef for a lighter version. You can also use turkey bacon. For a different cheese try mozzarella for mildness or pepper jack if you want extra spice. Swap out pickles with pickled jalapeno slices for those who like more heat.
Serving Suggestions
