- When selecting the ground beef, look for one with a higher fat content for a juicier burger.
- If you can't find mini soft flour tortilla taco bowls, you can use regular-sized soft flour tortillas instead.
- Instead of ground beef, use ground turkey. This substitution is beneficial as it is a leaner source of protein and has fewer calories and saturated fat than ground beef.
- Instead of cheddar cheese, use mozzarella cheese. This substitution is beneficial as mozzarella is a milder cheese that pairs nicely with the other flavors in the dish and does not overpower the other ingredients.
Vegetarian Option Substitute the ground beef with a plant-based protein alternative and omit the bacon. Top with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite vegan condiments.
