Why I Love This Recipe

I’m a sucker for unexpected flavor combos, and the tangy-sweet heat of chamoy with smoky bacon and cheesy taco layers? Absolute flavor synergy. These towers are crunchy, creamy, spicy, and refreshing, all at once.

Plus, they’re fast—ready in just 15 minutes—and great for letting guests build their own.


📋 Ingredients

  • 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tbsp chamoy sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 small taco shells (or mini tortillas)

Optional: chopped cilantro, hot sauce, pickled onions


🥑 Ingredient Tips & Swaps

  • Chamoy 101: It’s a Mexican condiment made from pickled fruit, chili, and lime—find it near the hot sauces or in Latin markets.
  • Cheese swap: Try queso fresco or pepper jack for a different vibe.
  • Crunchy shell lovers: Toast your taco shells in the oven or skillet for extra texture.
  • Add protein: Throw in shredded chicken or spiced ground beef to bulk it up.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Warm the taco shells: Place taco shells in the oven at 350°F for about 3–5 minutes until lightly toasted.
  2. Assemble the towers: Start layering each shell with crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and shredded cheese.
  3. Top with chamoy: Drizzle each taco generously with chamoy sauce.
  4. Stack or serve flat: You can stack 2 tacos together for a tower effect, or serve as individual loaded tacos.
  5. Serve immediately: Garnish with extra toppings like cilantro or a lime wedge.

💡 Tips for Taco Tower Success

  • Build for height: If stacking, use melted cheese or a dollop of guac as “glue” between shells.
  • Chamoy control: Use a squeeze bottle for a clean drizzle and Instagram-worthy finish.
  • Batch party tip: Set up a taco tower bar with all the fixings and let guests stack their own.
