Bacon and Eggs with Red Chile and Honey
- 10 ounces bacon
- 5 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons red chile powder (page 151)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 9 large eggs, whisked
- 8 (5 1/2-inch) soft yellow corn tortillas (page 13), for serving
- Garnish: Strips of roasted sweet red bell peppers or red chiles
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- Line a plate with paper towels and have ready.
- In a large, heavy skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until about three-quarters done, about 7 minutes.
- Add the honey and red chile powder and toss the bacon to evenly coat.
- Remove from the heat and strain off and reserve any excess honey and bacon grease from the pan.
- Transfer the bacon to a baking sheet and bake in the oven 5 minutes; remove the bacon to the prepared plate to drain.
- Preheat a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
- Melt the butter, then pour in the eggs immediately after.
- Cook the eggs until they are done, but not dry, gently stirring and turning them over with a wooden spatula to cook evenly, about 6 minutes.
- To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter.
- Divide the egg mixture equally between the tortillas and top with the bacon strips, red pepper or chile strips, salsa, and a sprinkling of cilantro.
- Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand.
- Spoon on some egg mixture, and top with bacon, pepper or chile strips, salsa, and a sprinkling of cilantro.
- Fold and eat right away.
- For a sweeter taco, pour any excess honey and bacon grease over the filling.
