Tips & Notes

• Find canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (7-ounce cans) in the Hispanic food section of most supermarkets.
• Use any type bacon desired, from thin or thick to apple wood or maple-smoked. If you’re short on time, substitute chopped, ready-to-eat bacon. You’ll find it near the packaged meat case.
• To make this recipe gluten-free, check the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for flour, MSG or a gluten-free notation, and make sure the mayonnaise has not been contaminated with a used knife.
