Tips:

  • Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor. Thick-cut bacon is a good choice as it adds a satisfying crunch to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bacon and steak. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the steak in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Just be sure to flip the steak frequently so that it cooks evenly.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Carne picada con tocino is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of bacon, steak, and onions is sure to please everyone at the table.
