Bacon cheeseburger tacos

Bacon cheeseburger tacos

Big Mac-style tacos

Ingredients

Serves 4

• Hard or soft corn taco shells (either ready-made, or I made my own using using masa flour)
  
  For the filling
• 250g beef mince
• 3 rashers bacon
• 1 small onion, peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
  
  For the sauce
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 150g mayonnaise
• 30g ketchup
• 30g mustard
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 tbsp chopped pickles, along with 2tbsp of the brine from the jar
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 
  Optional toppings
• cheese slices
• shredded lettuce
• gherkins
• tomatoes and cucumbers, diced
• sesame seeds

Method

1. Mix all of the sauce ingredients together and leave to sit to allow the flavours to combine.
2. To make the filling, cut the bacon into small pieces and fry in a pan for a few minutes. Then add the diced onion and continue to stir through while the onion softens.
3. Add the minced beef to the bacon and onions and stir until the meat is cooked. Add the soy sauce and then season to taste.
4. Prepare the tacos.
5. Taste the sauce and season if necessary.
6. Cut the cheese slices in half to make two triangles and place on either side of the taco shell. You can put these in the oven for a minute or two to melt the cheese, if you like.
7. Layer the lettuce and gherkins, then spoon some of the beef filling into the taco shell. Top with the burger sauce, the diced cucumber and tomato and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
8. Alternatively, put everything out on the table and allow people to build their own tacos. I recommend serving with napkins or paper towel, as these get messy!
