Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by gathering all the ingredients. Chop the garlic cloves and fresh cilantro finely and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Mojo

    In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped garlic, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon strips in a single layer. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes on each side. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.

  2. 4

    Drain the Bacon

    Once the bacon is cooked, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

Combining

  1. 5

    Toss with Garlic Mojo

    Place the cooked bacon in a large mixing bowl and pour the garlic mojo over the bacon. Toss well to ensure all the bacon strips are coated with the garlic mojo.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the garlic mojo bacon to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges before serving.
