Pinch off a quarter of the meat mixture and form it into a disc. Repeat with the remaining ground meat to make 3 more patties. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan, then add the patties.
- Using a spatula, flatten the patties in the pan to a thickness of 1 cm. Fry until cooked through, 4–5 minutes on each side, then transfer to a plate.
- Meanwhile, fry the eggs.Heat the remaining olive oil and butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook for 5–6 minutes, until the whites are set. Transfer the eggs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
- Spread a little cilantro mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun and arrange on plates or serving platters. Top each bun with a patty and 2 slices of bacon. Top with lettuce, tomato, and a fried egg. Drizzle with a little hot sauce.
- Spread the remaining cilantro mayonnaise on the top halves of the buns, then carefully top the sandwiches. Serve with taco tots.
