I love bacon . bacon is so good . I almost eat everything with bacon well not ever thing .
This dish was delicious!!!
I made this because I felt like eating tacos but didn’t have any ground beef. It was good and my boyfriend enjoyed it as well. I made it with brown rice and whole wheat tortillas. I mixed the bacon in with the rice and beans in one container just to make it easier for preparing the taco. Overall a nice alternative to a traditional taco.
It’s a crowd pleaser… tastes good and everyone can choose their own toppings! Best with the recipe Taco Seasoning I on all recipes as the taco seasoning.
