  • Recipe: Bacon Taco Shells

    Here’s a recipe that sounds Delish: BACON TACO SHELLS I placed bacon strips on a paper towel, uncut because the bacon will shrink. You want to make sure that each slice slightly overlaps each other. That way when it cooks, they fuse together to make the shell. I microwaved my bacon for about 3 minutes.…
