Because Guac Isn’t Yummy Enough…Add Bacon.

I mean, be serious. Guacamole is one of the most delicious foods on the planet. But as I recently discovered while I was tinkering around in the kitchen on Friday, in preparation for an afternoon of World Cup viewing, guac can be so much better with bacon!

See? Isn’t it just soooo appetizing-looking?

So here’s how you make it:

Ingredients

-4 small garlic cloves, finely minced (or less if you’re not so much into the garlic)
-1 tablespoon poblano pepper, finely minced (or more if you like it hot; you can also use a spicier pepper if you prefer)
-1 large shallot, finely minced
-1 tsp kosher salt
-1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
-1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
-2 large avocados
-The juice of 1 large lime
-1 vine-ripe or heirloom tomato, diced
-5 pieces of thick-cut bacon, cooked and diced (I like mine crispy — it gives the guac crunch)

Preparation

Making this dish is über easy, a child could do it (minus the cooking the bacon part, which I like to do on a griddle).

Put your avocados into a large serving bowl and smush to your preferred consistency with a fork, a large spoon, or even a potato masher.

Then add in all your other ingredients and mix well. It will look like this:

Yum! Enjoy!!!
