For my bacon taco shell I started off the same way I did when I made my Bacon Weave Quesdailla, by creating a square bacon weave, cooking it in my oven at 400° for about 15 minutes and then placing an upside down bowl over it and tracing around it with a knife until I was left with a circular bacon weave. After that I hung it over a couple kabob sticks that were balanced across empty beer bottles and left it like that for a few minutes so it would keep its shape. I’m sure that there was probably something better I could have draped it over, but you’ve gotta make do with what you’ve got right?
Since I wasn’t quite sure if beer bottles were safe to put in the oven I swapped them out for a couple pint glasses, put them on a baking sheet, hung my bacon weave taco shell between them and slid it back into my oven for another ten minutes so it could finish cooking.
Granted, I’m sure the beer bottles would have been fine, but I didn’t know if the labels would burn or if the glue that holds them to the bottle is toxic. Then again, when you’re eating stuff like this on a regular basis a little bit of toxic glue should probably be the least of your worries….
In the end my Bacon Weave Taco ended up looking — and tasting — way better than I ever could have imagined. Once it was done baking I filled it to the brim with seasoned ground beef, sour cream, lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese and took a bite. It was completely amazing, and aside from that the shell actually looked exactly like a real taco shell!
Thinking of you...
Sounds like a lot of trouble to make something that looks so greasy.
I won’t be trying this one out.
Would you call that a BACO???????
A muzzie’s deep and inner desire.
That looks awesome.
My butt just got way bigger looking at it. Salivating for it. But dang...that’s one fine peanutbutter/banana/bacon sandwich.
Thinking I would have to run a good long while to burn off that calorie load. :)
Yum. Yum. Yum.
Looks way better than what I just had for dinner.
Looks delicious! Two, please!
A balanced meal! Taco for the main course and bacon/banana for dessert. Yum!
If there is not a Bacon ping list maybe y’all should start one:-)

Is that what Elvis ate? LOL. Man that looks good.
Isn’t that how Elvis got so fat...minus the bacon?
Oh..lol..didn’t see your post ....
I always thought bananas and peanut butter sounded awful.
Designed for Muslims?
Atkins-friendly
Holy Hot Dang !!
I want one...NOW ;-)
Wouldn’t it be great if this was available at taco stands, maybe further wrapped in a soft taco?!
Another advance for Western Civilization.
OMG!!!! Yummmmm!!
Thanks for posting. I have never ever seen this, but will share it with my bacon-loving friends and I am going to make one. (I am not muslim).
