Meanwhile, line another baking sheet with foil and arrange bacon in a single layer.

Toss the potatoes then place back in the oven with the bacon-lined baking sheet. Cook for 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
5
Warm the refried beans either in a saucepan on the stove or in a microwave safe bowl.
6
Once potatoes and bacon are cooked and beans are heated through, warm a comal or skillet over high-medium heat. Heat tortillas until warm then load up with taco fillings.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Crispy Potato Technique 🥔Par-boil diced potatoes for 5-7 minutes before pan-frying to ensure they cook through while achieving a golden, crispy exterior without burning.
- Warm Your Tortillas Properly 🔥Heat tortillas directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side to make them pliable and add subtle char flavor that complements the savory fillings.
- Season Refried Beans Boldly 🧂Layer your beans with cumin, garlic, and a pinch of cayenne while heating to build deep flavor that serves as the flavor foundation for your egg-free tacos.
- Bacon Fat is Liquid Gold 🥓Reserve bacon grease and use it to cook your potatoes instead of oil—this adds incomparable richness and umami that elevates the entire dish.
- Build a Texture Tower 🏗️Layer warm beans, crispy potatoes, bacon bits, and fresh toppings (avocado, cilantro, salsa) to create contrasting textures that make each bite satisfying without eggs.
