Ingredients

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • cup tomato diced
  • ¼ red onion diced
  • 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!)
