Spicy Hot Honey Bacon Cheeseburger Crunchwrap Tacos

Step-by-step instructions

In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, remove it from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings for flavor.
In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked. Remember to season with salt and pepper while it cooks.
While the beef is cooking, mix up your spicy sauce. In a small bowl, combine the hot honey, mayonnaise, and hot sauce to create a creamy, flavorful topping.
Lay out the large flour tortillas on a flat surface and spread a generous spoonful of the spicy sauce on each tortilla.
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef, crispy bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and crushed tortilla chips among the tortillas.
Fold the edges of each tortilla over to encapsulate the filling, creating a secure crunchwrap taco.
Heat a splash of olive oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap tacos seam-side down in the skillet and cook until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once they’re crispy on one side, gently flip the tacos to cook the other side until it’s equally golden.
Remove the tacos from the skillet, serve hot, and add extra hot honey sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy every crunchy, cheesy, spicy bite!

Best ways to enjoy it

Present your Spicy Hot Honey Bacon Cheeseburger Crunchwrap Tacos with flair! Serve them with a side of fresh guacamole or homemade salsa to complement the flavors. A simple salad or some Spanish rice can also make a lovely pairing. For those who enjoy a little extra heat, offer sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of additional hot sauce on the side.

Keeping leftovers fresh

If you happen to have leftovers, storing them is easy. Place the tacos in an airtight container in the fridge, where they will stay fresh for up to 3 days. When reheating, opt for the oven or a skillet to maintain their crispiness instead of using the microwave, which can make them soggy.

Helpful cooking tips

For extra crispiness, try crushing your tortilla chips slightly before adding them to the filling; this gives each bite a delightful crunch!
Adjust the levels of hot sauce according to your spice preference; more for a kick, less for a milder flavor.
Don’t overload the tortillas; a little filling goes a long way and makes folding easier.

Creative twists

Feeling adventurous? Mix and match flavors! Try adding avocado slices or sautéed peppers for added texture. You could also experiment with different sauces—think Sriracha mayo or a tangy barbecue sauce. For a vegetarian twist, substitute the beef and bacon with black beans, mushrooms, or tofu.
