Is it weird that I am dreaming about corn and bacon? I am a little worried myself. Ever since the corn and bacon pie, I am constantly thinking about new ways to bring these two ingredients together. If you have idea, please share! This recipe is a spin on a traditional BLT combining bacon, lettuce, tomato and then adding fresh corn, cilantro, a jalapeno, and a touch of lime juice. Served up in adorable lettuce cups for a simple lunch or dinner. Consider adding chicken, shrimp, or avocado if you want some additional protein.
