Ingredients

• 6 slices Bacon
• 4 whole Roma tomatoes
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 whole Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside and let it cool.

Step 2

While the bacon is cooling, roast the Roma tomatoes, garlic cloves (with skin on), and peeled yellow onion on a dry skillet over high heat until charred on all sides. This will take approximately 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Once the garlic cloves have cooled slightly, peel off their skins. Roughly chop the roasted tomatoes and onions.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatoes, garlic, onions, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, ground cumin, and olive oil. Blend until smooth or to your desired consistency.

Step 5

Roughly chop the cooled bacon into small pieces and stir it into the blended salsa.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as desired.

Step 7

Transfer the Chipotle Bacon Salsa to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or eggs.
