Equipment

  • parchment paper optional

Ingredients

  • 2 tomatoes sliced and cut into portions
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped

  • 1 tsp chipotle powder or minced chipotle peppers
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place bacon slices in a single layer in a cold, large skillet.  Heat over medium heat.
  • Cook bacon, flipping as needed, until cooked through and crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • As bacon slices finish cooking, remove from heat and place on a papertowel lined plate to drain. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, slice cucumber at an angle into 12 slices.
  • Once the bacon is cooled, break into smaller strips
  • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, cream cheese, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  • Thinly slice the jalapeños.
  • Assemble the BLT bites by spreading each cucumber slice with smoky chipotle mayo.
  • Top with avocado slices, tomato pieces, crispy bacon, and jalapeño slices.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

For milder BLT bites, remove all jalapeño seeds and membranes before slicing.
These bites are best served fresh to keep the cucumber crisp.
You can prepare the smoky chipotle mayo and bacon ahead of time for faster assembly.
For extra smoky flavor, use smoked bacon and a pinch of extra smoked paprika.
