• 1 tsp salt (or to taste)

🔪 Instructions

1. Make the Cheese Shells

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone mat.

3. Make 4 small mounds of shredded cheese (about 1/2 cup each), spaced apart.

4. Flatten each mound into a circle (~5–6 inches).

5. Bake for 6–8 minutes, until bubbly and golden around the edges.

6. Remove and let cool for 1 minute, then drape each over a wooden spoon handle, spatula handle, or bowl edge to form a taco shell shape.

7. Let them harden (2–3 minutes).

2. Make the Meat Filling

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crisp.

2. Add ground beef (and pork/sausage if using).

3. Cook until browned and cooked through.

4. Add salt and any optional seasonings. Stir well.

5. Drain excess fat if needed (or keep for juiciness!).

3. Assemble Tacos

1. Place the cheese shell on a plate.

2. Add a generous scoop of hot meat filling.

3. Top with optional carnivore toppings (extra cheese, bacon, or egg).

4. Serve immediately while the shells are still crispy!

🥓 Tips & Variations

• Use different cheese types for the shell — try pepper jack for spice!

• Add liver (ground/blended) into the meat mix for added nutrients.

• If you’re dirty carnivore, a touch of mustard or hot sauce can be nice.
