Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Tacos

These tacos feature jalapeños stuffed with a savory mixture of ground meat and cheese, wrapped in crispy bacon, and grilled to perfection. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

8 large jalapeños, halved and seeded
1 pound ground beef or chicken
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)
8 slices of bacon
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Taco shells or tortillas for serving
Toppings: diced tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole

Instructions

Prepare the Jalapeños: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Halve the jalapeños and remove the seeds for less heat.
Make the Filling: In a skillet, cook the ground meat over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix in the shredded cheese until melted.
Stuff the Jalapeños: Fill each jalapeño half with the meat and cheese mixture.
Wrap with Bacon: Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed jalapeño, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
Grill the Tacos: Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeños on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender.
Serve: Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. Serve in taco shells or tortillas with your favorite toppings.
