Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 4 whole tortilla
  • 4 whole egg
  • 4 slices thick cut bacon
Halve the bacon slices, then cut crosswise into chunky square pieces.
Cook in a medium high pan with no oil under a lid, which raises the temperature and renders the fat faster, 3 to 5 minutes.
Uncover, stir and crisp 2 to 3 minutes more, 8 to 9 minutes in total, until deep reddish brown; drain on a paper towel.
  • 1 can refried beans
Microwave the beans in a bowl under a damp paper towel for 2 minutes.
  • ½ whole lime
  • cumin
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • red chili flakes
  • salt
  • cracked black pepper
  • ½ cup water
Stir in the lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, salt and black pepper; loosen with about half a cup of water until creamy and taste.
Warm a tortilla and fry an egg as for the first taco, 3 to 4 minutes, until crisp-edged with a runny yolk.
Building the bean and bacon taco
  • chili crisp
  • queso fresco
  • chopped fresh cilantro
  • pickled red onions
Build: tortilla, a smear of beans, a quarter of the bacon, the egg, chili crisp, queso fresco, cilantro and pickled red onions.
