World Famous Guacamole

OK, so it’s not “World Famous” yet, but I’ve had a lot of requests for my guacamole from friends who would go so far as to lick the guacamole bowl at the end of a party (you know who you are!).

The simpler the better for guacamole, it’s all about the natural avocado flavor so don’t overdo it. When I have it in the house, I chop up a few pieces of bacon to add to the guacamole and it’s very tasty, but don’t go out of your way to get bacon at the grocery store, the guacamole is still very delicious without it. This recipe feeds 3-4 people as a snack or appetizer.

Ingredients:
-  2 avocadoes, diced
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 t. cumin
- Salt and pepper
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 2 slices cooked bacon, chopped

1. Carefully cut the avocado in half and then slice it in a criss-cross pattern inside the skin.
2. Spoon out the avocado pieces into a bowl, mix with cilantro, cumin, red onion, bacon, salt & pepper, and lime juice.
3. Mix together with a fork until creamy but still a little chunky. If it needs more flavor, try adding a little bit more pepper or cumin. Serve with tortilla chips and remember to lick the bowl!
