Loaded Bacon Guacamole (YUM) 🥑🍅🥓

Guacamole is an absolute, must-have PARTY TIME staple...whether it's the Super Bowl, Cinco de Mayo, or you're just celebrating LIFE with friends and family...Guac is a Crowd-pleaser!

We upped your guac-game by adding BACON to this party-time classic! I used nitrate-free bacon, and totally enjoy the heck out of it whenever we do have it. Bacon is something we eat in moderation.

What are YOUR favorite tips + tricks for the perfect guacamole?
Everyone has their secrets...an old boyfriend I once dated would add a tsp of tequila to his guacamole☠...I prefer it without BUT it certainly gets the conversation started 🌮🌮🌮
Do you like tomatoes + onions in your guac...or just avocado + lime?
Chunky or smooth?
AND for the BIGGEST controversy of all - Cilantro or NO Cilantro? 🌱 {I ❤ cilantro!}

makes 8-10 servings

Ingredients:
4-5 ripe avocados
6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1-2 fresh garlic clove, minced or pressed
8 oz cherry tomatoes, chopped or diced
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
1 tsp ground cumin
2 fresh juicy limes, juiced
a handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

optional:
1 or 2 small jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced

Instructions:
Place the avocado flesh into a medium mixing bowl, and mash well with a fork.

Stir in all of your additional ingredients.

Stir well to combine and enjoy!

Notes:
If you're planning to serve it later, leave the pit of one avocado inside your bowl and cover with plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole (push out the air!) to prevent browning.

Best when eaten within a few hours.

Sometimes I add a few teaspoons of lime zest from one of the limes for more flavor and dimension

Idea:
I use 2-3 tablespoons of salsa (my father’s simple salsa recipe)on the avocado that I semi-smashed with a spoon. I also add a little salt. The salsa already has tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, onion, and salt so no need to add anything.
