Bacon Guacamole
This easy Bacon Guacamole is proof that bacon makes everything better! Loaded with crispy bacon and fresh ingredients, it puts a smoky, savory twist on the classic dip. It’s the best chip dip or taco topping made with just 7 ingredients in 15 minutes!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- ⅓ cup tomato diced
- ¼ red onion diced
- ⅓ cup cilantro
- 2 tbsp jalapeno diced
- 2 bacon cooked
- Large pinch salt
Instructions
- If you haven’t already, cook the bacon, then transfer to a paper towel and set aside.
- Next, use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the avocados (do not over-mash!). Then, add the remaining ingredients (minus the bacon and salt) and mash until just combined.
- Break the bacon into small pieces, then stir it, along with a large pinch of salt, into the guacamole. Taste it, then add additional salt and/or lime juice if you’d like. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage: storing guacamole can be tricky because it browns quickly, but have no fear because it IS doable! Once the guacamole is in a bowl, squirt a hefty amount of lime (or lemon) juice on top, then place a piece of plastic wrap over the bowl and gently press down so that it's touching the guacamole. Store in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
-Want to keep this meat-free? Omit the bacon! The bacon is delicious, but not an absolute "must" for this recipe (yes really!)
