Ingredients

Start to finish: 15 minutes

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 pound slab bacon, rind removed, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
10-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 red onion, diced
1 tablespoon chipotle puree
1 teaspoon lime juice
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Directions

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the bacon, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 7 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes, onion and chipotle puree. Stir in the bacon, lime juice and black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes 1 cup.
