Directions
Place chopped bacon in a large saucepan, and turn on heat to medium-high. Cook for 5-6 minutes until fat is rendered and bacon is crispy. Transfer bacon to a bowl, leave the rendered fat on the pan.
While fat or oil is shimmering, add the onion, bell pepper, salt and cook, stirring frequently, until softened but not browned, about 3 minutes.
Add the jalapeno, garlic, cumin, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chipotle and adobo sauce and stir to combine.
Add the tomatoes, and black beans, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a bare simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
Add lime zest, lime juice, and cooked bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a serving plate and serve, with sunny side up eggs, tomato salsa, cilantro, avocado, tortilla, and feta or crema if desired.
