By now you have probably seen the bacon weave somewhere on the internet, and maybe even [bacon weave tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-meat-breakfast-tacos). A popular vehicle for breakfast foods (like scrambled eggs), the [pork-based taco shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ortega-cheezit-taco-shells) is for those who could not care less about high cholesterol or sodium intake and are also obsessed with bacon. To be fair, I think we are all obsessed with bacon.

The [BLT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendys-3) Bacon Weave Tacos were created by Nick Chapman of the food blog DudeFoods. If your favorite part of a BLT (bacon lettuce tomato) sandwich is the bacon, this recipe totally cuts out the bread. Instead, the meaty shell is filled with just chopped up lettuce and tomato as well as lots and lots of mayonnaise.
