6 One of the best foods on the planet just got crispier, crunchier and even more crave-worthy thanks to bacon. MAKING THE SHELL: Start with 5 strips of Farmland Classic Cut Hickory Smoked bacon laid vertically as close together as possible Place bacon strip horizontally at top of five strips Build weave by pulling back vertical strips 2 and 4 over the horizontally placed bacon strip Place another bacon strip horizontally, then pull back strips 2 and 4 on top of the second horizontal strip Fold up vertical strips 1, 3 and 5 over the second horizontal strip Place another strip horizontally, then bring vertical strips 1, 3 and 5 back down on top of the third horizontal strip Continue alternating folds until weave is complete CUTTING THE SHELL: Find a large circular shape (like a round plastic container) and place it on top of the weave to establish a pattern to cut around Cut around the circle and feel free to nibble on the leftover bacon trim FORMING THE SHELL: Lay a metal utensil across a bacon pan or casserole dish something that can catch bacon grease and lay your bacon weave on top of the utensil so that it folds over and grease can drip into the pan/dish. Note: you can simply lay your bacon weave on the oven rack, as long as you have an oven-safe pan under it to catch grease Cook the shell at 400 F for 5-15 minutes,checking every 5 minutes FILLING IT UP: Fill your bacon weave taco with whatever you like; we reco avocado, lettuce, pico, and pulled pork 6
