Indulge in these spicy bourbon bacon cheeseburger tacos for a quick, flavorful dinner. A crazy good combo that satisfies every craving!
Ingredients
- • Ground beef: 1 lb
- • Bacon: 6 strips, chopped
- • Bourbon: 1/4 cup
- • Jalapeño: 1, finely chopped
- • Cheddar cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- • Taco-sized flour tortillas: 8
- • Butter: 2 tablespoons
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Hot sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • Fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside, but leave the bacon fat in the skillet.
- 2 Add the ground beef to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- 3 Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chopped jalapeño. Cook for another 2 minutes until the jalapeño softens slightly.
- 4 Pour in the bourbon, letting it simmer and reduce slightly while stirring to deglaze the pan, about 2 minutes. This will infuse the beef with rich flavors.
- 5 Add the hot sauce and crispy bacon back into the skillet. Stir to combine, then remove from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and gooey.
- 6 In a separate small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Warm each flour tortilla individually, about 30 seconds per side, until pliable and slightly browned.
- 7 Spoon the spicy bourbon bacon cheeseburger mixture into each tortilla, folding them into taco shapes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Spicy Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger Tacos are perfect served with a side of crispy oven-baked fries or a tangy coleslaw to cut through the richness. For a refreshing contrast, pair them with a simple cucumber and tomato salad dressed with lime juice and olive oil. To complete the indulgent experience, serve these tacos with a cold beer or a bourbon cocktail to highlight the flavors within the dish. For a non-alcoholic option, a sparkling lime soda will complement the spicy and savory elements beautifully.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover taco filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the filling in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. For the best texture, warm the tortillas fresh when serving leftovers.
