SLAB-BACON TACOS WITH BURNED-SCALLION CREMA
This is candied bacon, essentially, on corn tortillas with a creamy, smoke-flecked sauce that tastes of scallion and lime. I like it with pineapple salsa as well, and a salad of cilantro, mint and soft lettuce. You could make it with your standard sliced bacon from the market, but it's far superior with the thick-cut variety or, best of all, with a chunk of uncut bacon that you can slice as thick as you like.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix the chile powder, ground cumin, brown sugar and black pepper together in a large bowl, and then add the bacon slices, tossing to coat them with the spice mixture.
- Arrange the coated bacon slices on a sheet pan, ideally one fitted with a wire rack. Roast in the oven until they are caramelized and starting to crisp at the edges, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven, chop the bacon into large dice and keep warm. Reserve the bacon fat for another use.
- While the bacon cooks, make the crema. Put the scallions and jalapeño in a large dry sauté pan and cook over high heat, tossing occasionally, until the scallions and jalapeño have blackened at the edges, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
- Put the scallions and jalapeño in the bowl of a food processor, and blitz them with the juice of 1 lime, then add the sour cream and mayonnaise, and blitz the mixture until it is smooth and flecked with blackened bits. Season to taste with the salt and, if you'd like the mixture thinner, the juice of the second lime. Scrape into a bowl, and reserve.
- To serve, warm the tortillas in the dry pan, one or two at a time, and reserve them in a tortilla warmer or clean dish towel. Fill them with the diced bacon and a slash of the crema, along with quartered limes and, if you like, salsa, cilantro, mint and hot sauce.

- Coarsely chop 6 oz. bacon and transfer to a Dutch oven. Cut 1½ lb. pork shoulder into 1½"-thick pieces and add to pot. Add 1½ tsp. salt and cover meat with water—not so much water that the pieces are bobbing around, but you want them almost entirely submerged.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cover pot. Simmer, lifting lid occasionally to stir and poking pieces of pork with a fork to test for tenderness after the first half hour, until tender, 45–60 minutes. When you lift the lid, you want to see gentle bubbles. If you see rapid bubbling or no bubbling at all, adjust your heat accordingly.
- While pork is cooking, prep the rest of your ingredients. Drain 14 oz. tomatoes in a colander or strainer. Smash 2 garlic cloves and discard skins. Peel 1 red onion and thinly slice about a quarter of it. Place slices on the side of cutting board and cover with a damp paper towel. Coarsely chop remaining onion. Pick about 1 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems and cover with a damp paper towel on cutting board. Run knife through remaining cilantro to coarsely chop (stems included).
- Combine drained tomatoes, garlic, 2 chipotle chiles, 2 tsp. agave syrup, coarsely chopped onion, and coarsely chopped cilantro in a blender. Cut 1 lime in half and squeeze in juice. Blend on high until salsa is smooth (you should have about 1¾ cups). Season with salt.
