Ingredients

Makes 6 appetizer servings

▢ 6 bacon slices
▢ 2 large ripe avocados Hass variety preferred, halved, seed removed and peeled
▢ ¼ cup finely chopped white onion
▢ 2 serrano chiles finely chopped with seeds
▢ 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
▢ 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
▢ 1 small tomato seeded and chopped
▢ Salt to taste (optional)

Instructions

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low heat until brown and crisp.
Drain well on paper towels.
When the bacon is cool, crumble it into small bits.
In a medium bowl, mash the avocados.
Stir in the onion, serranos, cilantro, lime juice, and the reserved bacon bits.
Drain off any juice from the tomato to prevent discoloring the guacamole.
Gently stir the tomato into the guacamole.
Add salt, if needed.
(The saltiness of the bacon will determine if more salt is needed.
