1
Prepare the Avocados
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
2
Mash the Avocados
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
3
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the lime juice and mix well to combine, this will also help prevent the avocado from browning.
4
Chop and Add Vegetables
Finely chop the red onion, jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), and cilantro. Add them to the bowl.
5
Season the Mixture
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper into the mixture and stir until everything is evenly combined.

6
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the thick-cut bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Turn occasionally for even cooking.
7
Drain the Bacon
Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
8
Chop the Bacon
Once the bacon has cooled slightly, chop it into small pieces and set aside for mixing in the guacamole.

9
Mix in Bacon
Fold the chopped bacon into the guacamole mixture gently, ensuring the bacon is evenly distributed.
10
Serve with Tortilla Chips
Transfer the bacon guacamole to a serving bowl and serve it with tortilla chips for dipping.
