I made these yesterday = DELISH!! This recipe calls for baking your bacon - which is what I always do - less grease in the air, and less mess to clean up. You, of course, can fry, or microwave it - if time is of an essence.
(serves 4)
1 lb. thick cut uncured* bacon
1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered (mixed colors are pretty here)
1 small jalapeno, seeded, and finely chopped (wear gloves!*)
2 T. fresh cilantro leaves*, chopped
1&1/2 t. fresh lime juice, plus more to taste
Kosher salt, to taste
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1&1/2 t. Cholula or other hot sauce, or taste, plus more for serving
8 (6") corn or flour tortillas
Romaine lettuce or iceberg* leaves, torn into bite-size pieces or shredded*
1 avocado, sliced
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lay bacon in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until browned and crisp,15-20 min. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool. While bacon is cooking, toss together tomatoes, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and a large pinch of salt in a med. bowl. Taste and add more lime juice and salt, if needed. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and hot sauce. Lay a clean kitchen towel in a med. bowl. Using an open flame from a stove top gas burner (or in a skillet on an electric burner), warm and lightly char tortillas, 30 seconds to 1 min. per side. Transfer warmed tortillas to a towel-lined bowl and cover with a towel to keep warm while you finish remaining tortillas. Serve, letting people make their own tacos by layering bacon, salsa, lettuce, spicy mayo, and avocado, on tortillas. Top with more hot sauce, if desired.
