So, here's the thing. Bacon is so played out in the food
world right now. We have bacon chocolate bars, bacon oil, bacon salt, bacon
print band-aids, and bacon sundaes at Burger King. There is even a small restaurant in Austin, Texas called Bacon that serves, well, everything bacon (try the the bacon doughnut...just do it). Some truly sad souls people have
a difficult time understanding why bacon should play such a leading role off the breakfast table. I say everything should taste like bacon. Bring it!
Here is my small contribution to our over-saturated bacon
kingdom, Bacon Guacamole.
I actually shed a tear when I tasted this.
You can thank me later...
Bacon Guacamole
Time in kitchen: 10 minutes
Servings: 8 (2 T serving)
Nutrition information per serving: 100 calories, 9 grams fat, 3 grams fiber, 2 grams protein, 4 carbs
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados
the juice of 1/2 lime (or more to taste)
1 small garlic clove, grated
1 T fresh cilantro, chopped
1 T salsa (your favorite will do)
3 strips crispy bacon, diced
salt, to taste
In a large bowl, mash the avocado flesh with lime juice, grated garlic, cilantro, and salsa. Fold in the bacon. I suggest adding salt after tasting since the bacon and salsa is quite salty already.
Friggen enjoy!
No such thing as too much bacon!
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteI agree, how can there ever be too much bacon in your kitchen?
DeleteBacon in guacamole...count me in! Irresistible!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant combo!!! And 2 posts back-to-back - I'm going to get spoiled. :)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever had bacon chocolate chip cookies? I have a recipe for one on my blog... that sweet-salty combo slays me.
Hah! It's so funny I thought the summer was going to give me more time to play on the blog since school was out. But as soon as school starts again I get the urge to post more and more. I think it's a procrastination technique (shhh, don't tell anyone). Bacon chocolate chip cookies...ohhhhhh no...don't even get me started.

DeleteI love guacamole! What a fantastic idea with the bacon!
ReplyDeleteDon't care if it's overplayed! Good is good. And I would like to thank you right NOW.
ReplyDeleteWell of course. SALT. And smoky flavor.
ReplyDeleteThere is a little butcher near us that makes the most incredible bacon I've ever tasted. I lean towards vegetarianism ... except when I'm there. It's that good.
I happen to have a ripe avocado in the kitchen, too. Ha ... world domination awaits.
The addition of bacon must take this guac to a new level :D

ReplyDeleteNow why didn't I think of this???? Yup, you've just made guacamole even better!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those recipes I keep seeing and really want to try but just haven't had the courage. You've brought me one step closer!
ReplyDeleteToo true, it's everywhere and deserves to by. I remember crispy bacon and avo sandwhiches in the 80's, classic combo. :)
