  • About

I remember the first time I made Kentucky fried bacon. I liken it to when man discovered fire. I thought I was a culinary genius. Tender pieces of bacon cooked slowly in its own fat, then breaded with light-as-air bread crumbs and fried to golden brown perfection. Here, I serve it encased in warm tortillas and topped with a variety of toppings.

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-inch/15-cm) flour or corn tortillas
  • 4 pieces Kentucky Fried Bacon, warm
  • Toppings (suggestions follow)

Method

Preheat the oven to 300Ā°F (150Ā°C). Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and warm in the oven for 15 minutes.

Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Place 1 piece of the bacon in the center of each and top with a few tablespoons of toppings.

Here are a few of my favorites combinations:

  1. Grilled Corn Succotash and Habanero Sauce
  2. Buffalo sauce, Baconā€“Blue Cheese Ranch, and Pickled JalapeƱo Salad
  3. Piperade and Avocado Salsa Verde
