You Can Make Your Own Taco Shells Entirely Out of Bacon
“Do you know what would make this 2am taco perfect? Bacon. No wait, the whole shell is tacos … just bacon. I believe that such a thought process might inspire someone to do this. And now the Backyard BBQ Show shows you how.
You will need a grill and lots of bacon. “It’s very simple,” the video begins, but the first step actually requires some prior knowledge of braiding 15 strips of raw bacon . Once woven together, lay it out on parchment paper, then lay down another sheet of parchment paper to start sculpting the taco shape. Basically, you want a circle, so flip the cute salad bowl over to make a circular print and use kitchen scissors to cut out the shape. You can set aside extra bacon bites for other bacon.
Next, you want to shape the taco into the shape of the grill. The presenter of the video uses a ribbed stand. If you don’t have one, you can try something like this to flip your bacon weave. Or roll it up like this to make a cylindrical body. Grill the bacon for 20 minutes, then turn it over and cook for another 20 minutes. In just 40 delicious-smelling minutes, you’ve got a bacon taco shell that can be stuffed with more bacon (if you like) and other taco toppings.
Alternatively, you can cook it a little faster in the oven. If you’re on a slightly higher calorie intake, you can substitute turkey bacon instead. Whatever your feelings towards the creation of such bacon is a tempting idea for fans of bacon, and those of you who are sitting on the ketogenic or very low-carb diet.
