Ingredients
For the Tacos
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 12 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crispy
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 large Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
For the Creamy Ranch Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Cook the Bacon
Cook the bacon in a skillet or bake it in the oven until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble or chop into bite-sized pieces.
2. Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
3. Warm the Tortillas
Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds per side or wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven.
4. Assemble the Tacos
Spread a spoonful of the creamy ranch sauce onto each tortilla. Top with chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, crispy bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and avocado slices if using.
5. Garnish
Sprinkle chopped green onions over the tacos and drizzle with extra ranch sauce if desired.
6. Serve
Fold the tortillas and serve immediately while the bacon remains crispy.
Expert Tips
Cook the bacon until extra crispy so it stays crunchy inside the tacos. Pat the tomatoes dry to prevent soggy tortillas. Assemble the tacos just before serving for the freshest texture. Warm tortillas are more flexible and less likely to tear.
Storage
Store the bacon, vegetables, and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble the tacos only when ready to eat. The creamy sauce can be prepared a day in advance for even better flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these BLT Tacos with tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole, Mexican rice, potato wedges, corn salad, pasta salad, or fresh fruit. They're also delicious alongside coleslaw or a simple green salad.
Recipe Variations
Add grilled chicken for extra protein, swap cheddar for pepper jack cheese, use turkey bacon for a lighter version, drizzle with chipotle mayo for a smoky kick, or replace flour tortillas with corn tortillas or lettuce wraps for a gluten-free option.
