Why doesn't anyone put bacon in tacos?

Sounds like a match made in heaven and a literal billion dollar idea

I guarantee you someone has.

Edit: as I post that I remember the Burgrito has bacon... though that is a Burrito not a taco.

Taco Bell did once do bacon in a taco.

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of breakfast tacos?

You sweet, sweet summer child.

I do when I order from the Taco Bell app. I don't know if you can do it in store, but it works great on the app.

Tacos de Tocino, in Mexico we made everything into a taco, and now I'm hungry.

As a long-time cook and Mexican, they just don't go together. You could do it, but it's just not nearly as good a use of bacon as you could do.

I love bacon and egg tacos. Sometimes when I make them myself I cook the egg sunny side up, add a few strips of bacon and put that bad boy in a tortilla with some hot sauce.

I know Taco Bell used to have chalupas that had bacon in them. They were great.

[Urethra Franklin]

I've seen it before, but it's not common because it's inauthentic.

I think it's the idea of bacon mixed with the taco seasoning that sounds gross.

Qdoba does.

Hello fellow health food fans, I give unto you the bacon shell taco.

TECHNICALLY it's because Smoked/Meaty/Umami flavors aren't really complimented by hot spice. The two flavors are considered to agrivate one another.

Thousands of Southwesterners who heap salsa on their bacon & egg tacos would disagree with that. I'm not one of those; I do think the two flavors don't mesh well. I prefer mine with just salt and pepper.

Bacon & egg tacos are the ambrosia of the gods, by the way. Anyone who has never tried them should really do so.

It's the combo of flavors that compliment rather than aggravate. Creaminess and mild fats of eggs and cheese cut abrasiveness of the salty flavors, you're building a complex creation. There's a reason the combo of several ingredients work well together but meanwhile you don't see people's dunking bacon in Tabasco

Black pepper bacon is the most popular type of non-traditional bacon in these parts. Every place has it. It's not a dash of wussy pepper either, the stuff is fairly hot even by my standards.

Black pepper isn't spicy it fits into its own flavor profile called "peppery"

While peppery can also mean spicy when it's used in tasting terms it's generally classified exclusively by black pepper peppercorns. Peppery goes well with umami
