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 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 from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
Caramelize the Onions: Add olive oil to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Add the sliced onions, season with salt, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.
Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked bacon to the skillet with the caramelized onions. Stir in chili powder if using, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
Warm the Tortillas: In a separate pan, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with the caramelized onion and bacon mixture. Top with fresh cilantro, avocado, or cheese if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, garnished with your favorite toppings.
