A quick and easy guacamole recipe featuring creamy ripe avocados, crispy bacon, and a smoky chipotle kick, perfect for any occasion from casual snacking to party gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe Hass avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crisp and chopped
  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely diced

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Place 4 thick-cut bacon slices in a cold skillet over medium heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash until you reach your desired consistency—chunky or creamy.
  3. Add the flavorings: Stir in the finely chopped chipotle peppers, minced garlic, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
  4. Season: Pour in fresh lime juice, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well but gently to avoid bruising the avocados.
  5. Fold in the bacon: Gently fold the crispy bacon pieces into the guacamole.
  6. Taste and adjust: Add more salt, lime, or chipotle if needed. Fold in diced jalapeño for extra heat if desired.
  7. Serve immediately: Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with cilantro or extra bacon bits. Serve with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for tacos and burgers.

Notes

For best texture, mash avocados by hand just before serving. Cook bacon low and slow for maximum crispness. Save bacon fat for other cooking uses. Press plastic wrap directly on guacamole surface to prevent browning when storing.
