This crunchwrap supreme recipe is for the people who shamelessly eat Taco Bell while they’re sober. I know it’s technically not a taco, but it’s delicious and I’ll admit the crunchwrap is one of my favorite foods. Bonus: this recipe doesn’t contain the mystery additives that the original does.

This isn’t a taco recipe, but a taco shell recipe. Some geniuses decided to weave bacon into a mat and bake it upright like a shell. Toppings are up to you, but I suggest hash browns and eggs to make a breakfast taco.

Here’s a jalapeño margarita and breakfast burrito brunch to cure any hangover, or start off your day in a boozy way. The margarita has plenty of kick, from both the jalapeño and the tequila, to wake you up. Also, Taco Tuesday can be any day of the week.
