Servings: Make 20 Tacos

Ingredients:

For The Chipotle Rub:

2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped

4 teaspoons each ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar

For The Tacos:

2 pounds slab bacon

20 small corn tortillas, warmed

1 medium onion, chopped

1 bunch cilantro, chopped

chipotle rub

creamy cilantro sauce

For The Creamy Cilantro Sauce:

1 cup sour cream

1 chipotle pepper, chopped

1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Prepare the chipotle rub by mixing all ingredients together until well combined.

To make the cilantro sauce, combine all ingredients. The mixture should be just thin enough to pour.

Dice the slab into chunks and coat with the chipotle rub. Place in a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes until bacon chunks are cooked through and start to caramelize. Serve a heaping spoonful of chipotle bacon on each warmed corn tortilla, topped with a sprinkling of onions, cilantro, and a drizzle of creamy cilantro sauce.
