"Alambre" Tacos or Burritos

My Dad loves a restaurant called La Parilla Suiza and they serve some delicious alambre tacos.  I tried to recreate them the other night and while they didn't taste the same as the restaurants, I think we discovered something yummy.

Bacon, diced
Onion, diced
Bell Pepper, diced
Chicken or beef, cooked and cubed or shredded

Season to taste with:
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Chipotle chili powder (I'm sure you could use regular chili powder)
Seasoning salt

Cook bacon in a frying pan until crispy, then add onion and peppers and cook in bacon grease until desired softness.  Add meat and seasonings; cook until heated.  I used home canned chicken with the juice drained and it turned out really yummy and moist.  Serve in taco shells or flour tortillas for a burrito.  Add sour cream, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, etc.

Sorry, there's a reason I don't write recipes down for my made up meals very often...I'm not a great recipe writer, but I hope it made sense. : )
