Author Notes: I think I found a recipe for this somewhere, years ago, but I honestly can’t recall where, and I’m sure I’ve altered it enough over the years to call it my own. It’s a great side with anything Mexican or barbecued; the chipotle and the bacon together give it a great smoky taste with a touch of heat, the bacon provides a little crunch, and the onions, well, onions are just good, that’s all. —Kayb
