Chipotle & Bacon Guacamole

Recipe below…

This is a very yummy, smokey alternative to regular guacamole. Perfect for bbq’s and parties, or just regular snacking. Enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 2 large ripe Hass avocados
• 1 to 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped, plus 1 tablespoon of adobo sauce
• 1 roma tomato, seeded and diced into chunks (optional)
• ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• Juice from one lime
• Juice from half a lemon
• 2 small cloves garlic, minced
• salt and pepper to taste
• ½ tsp cumin
• ¼ to ½ tsp chili powder
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
• 4 to 6 slices crispy bacon, chopped

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients with a large fork or spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately.

To store, transfer guacamole in an airtight container. Keep an avocado seed inside of the guacamole and press a layer of saran wrap directly on top to keep it from oxidizing (turning brown). Finally, cover with an additional layer of saran wrap and eat within 2 days max.
