How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Tacos

  1. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and crumble; set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Warm tortillas according to package instructions.
  7. Fill each tortilla with a portion of the seasoned ground beef, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite taco toppings. Optionally, serve with burger buns on the side for a unique take on the classic bacon cheeseburger.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
