Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the tomato, onion, jalapenos, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Chill until serving.
Step 2
Sprinkle chicken with taco seasoning; set aside. In a large skillet cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain.
Step 3
If grilling the chicken, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from the heat for 4-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165°F.
Step 4
Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
Step 5
Top with bacon and cheese; cook 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with salsa; squeeze lime wedges over top.
