Ingredients

8 small corn or flour tortillas
4 slices of bacon, chopped
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
Caramelize the Onions: Add the sliced onions to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and chili powder if using.
Warm the Tortillas: While the onions are caramelizing, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with a generous amount of caramelized onions and crispy bacon. Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm with your favorite sides or toppings.
