Instructions
- In a medium pot, cook your diced bacon until it has your desired consistency, I cooked mine until it was just becoming crisp. Remove the cooked bacon and place on a paper towel to soak up some of the fat. Drain all of the bacon fat from the pot, reserving 3 tablespoons in the pot.
- Add your diced onion, and jalapenos to the bacon fat in the pot and saute over medium high heat until the onions are transparent, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the garlic and cubed ham and saute for an additional minute.
- Add your bacon back into the pot along with your cans of beans, tomatoes, chicken broth, cumin, sugar, oregano, paprika, and salt and pepper. Bring it just to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve fresh cilantro and limes.
