Ingredients

  • 3 slices bacon cut into lardons
  • 3 avocados
  • 1 cup finely chopped romaine lettuce
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ½ cup quartered grape or cherry tomatoes
  • ½-1 lime juiced, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large skillet set over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. If any pieces seem too large, break them up.

  • Remove the pits from the avocados and scoop them into a bowl. Glide a knife through the bowl to chop the avocado. Switch to a fork and mash until ¾ of the avocado is broken up. Use your fork with a whisking motion to “whip” the guacamole and make it extra creamy.
