Description

Crispy taco shells loaded with seasoned beef, melty cheddar, crispy bacon, and classic burger toppings—it’s a delicious mash-up of burger and taco night.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 strips cooked bacon, chopped
  • 8 crispy taco shells
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • Burger sauce (optional): mix mayo, ketchup, mustard, and a splash of pickle juice


Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with diced onion until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for 2–3 more minutes.
  3. In a separate pan, cook bacon until crispy. Drain and chop.
  4. Warm taco shells according to package instructions.
  5. Fill each taco shell with seasoned beef, then top with shredded cheese to melt slightly.
  6. Add chopped bacon, shredded lettuce, sliced pickles, and diced tomatoes.
  7. Drizzle burger sauce over the top or serve on the side.

Notes

  • Use lean beef (85/15 or leaner) for less grease.
  • Make burger sauce ahead and store in fridge for later use.
  • Don’t overload taco shells—balance is key.
  • Serve with fries, wedges, or salad for a complete meal.
