Chipotle Shrimp Soft Tacos

Chipotle Shrimp Soft Tacos

1 - 12 ounce package bacon, cut into small pieces
1/2 onion, diced
2 pounds large cooked shrimp - peeled and deveined
3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, optional
12 soft tortillas
1 lime, juiced
salt to taste, optional

In a large, deep skillet fry the bacon over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain the bacon fat. Add the onions to the pan with the bacon and cook 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Stir in the shrimp and chipotle chiles; cook 4 minutes or until heated through. Heat tortillas on an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 seconds. Turn and heat for another 5 to 10 seconds. Fill the heated tortillas with shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

Footnotes -
I do not add the cilantro due to the fact that I just don't like it which is why I say adding it is optional. I serve these topped with fresh guacamole.
