Start with 15 pieces of bacon and weave them together on a sheet of parchment paper.

Coat the bacon with some pepper.

Take a medium-sized bowl and press it down to create a nice circle pattern on the bacon.

Use kitchen shears to cut out the taco shell shape while the bacon is between two sheets of parchment paper.

Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and set aside any excess bacon.

Place the cut-out bacon shell on a plate and put it in the fridge.

Prep the steak by brushing on a little bit of oil and coating it with Dog Day spice rub.

Prep the chicken by brushing on a little bit of oil and using Dog Days Carl's fired up rub.

Before cooking the bacon, add a couple chunks of apple wood to start smoking.

Use a rib rack holder to keep the bacon taco shell in shape while cooking.

Cook the bacon taco shell for around 20 minutes, then check and turn the rack for even cooking.

After about 40 minutes, check the bacon taco shells; they should be looking great.

Remove the bacon taco shells from the grill and prepare the meat.

Cook the chicken and steak over hot coals, flipping them quickly.

Layer sour cream down in the bacon taco shell, then add chicken and steak on top.

Load up the tacos with salsa, cheddar cheese, green onions, lettuce, and tomato.

Finish with a couple extra pieces of bacon on top.
