Bacon Guacamole

I stumbled upon something truly remarkable yesterday. Bacon is known to enhance flavor, but yesterday's discovery was nothing short of EPIC!!

Combining bacon and guacamole tasted soooo good it made me want to sing, and dance across the room. 

Overall, this recipe is remarkably easy, quick, and accessible, even for novice cooks. As football season approaches, consider preparing homemade guacamole instead of store-bought options, as it requires only a few ingredients and 10 minutes of preparation time.

Serves 3 or 4 or 2 

(depending on how hungry you are?)

Bacon Guacamole Ingredients

2 large ripe avocados
1/4 of a red onion approx 1/4 cup ( I didn't measure)
1 jalapeño ( I took the seeds out of mine since I have a youngster)
2 Tbs cilantro (healthy handful)
1 medium sized tomato, diced
1/4 tsp salt. kosher, course
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cumin
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp lemon juice (added this to the original recipe)
4 strips of bacon, cooked to a crisp

Directions

1. Cook the bacon until crispy. Pat the grease off and crumble it into a small bowl

2. Mash the avocados slightly, in a medium sized bowl, if you like chunky guac, just leave it all in chunks

3. Combine all the ingredients in the medium sized bowl.

4. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. This was pretty mild as far as heat. I kept it on the mild/medium side for my kiddo, but feel free to add heat by adding another jalapeno, more pepper, or even some red pepper flakes.

5. Serve with chips or on tacos or just grab a spoon! 

Enjoy!
