Fancy Guacamole 6.10 He's Slippin' 'Em Bread...Dig?

“Man, this place stunk.” “Downright usurious! Now look at the other side! The Brazlefrat? “They did charge me for that second beer! I never got it!” “Scandalous. But the other side.” “Six bucks for guacamole.”

Ingredients:

• 4-5 avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced

• ¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped

• 1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped

• 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely minced

• 1 scallion, thinly sliced

• 1 roma tomato, diced

• 6 slices of bacon, chopped (reserve ½ tbsp of bacon grease)

• 1 chipotle pepper in adobo, finely chopped

• 1 tbsp lime juice

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp pepper

• ½ tsp tajin

• ¼ tsp red pepper chili flakes

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, add the avocados and mash with a fork until smooth.

2. Add in all other ingredients and mix until well-incorporated.

So this guacamole is probably more than $6 in this economy, but back in 2006, it would probably be $6 at a restaurant. Though, I don’t know why Luke is all upset about that because this is dang good guacamole. I know you might be thinking, bacon in guacamole? But just trust me! One of my favorite Tex Mex restaurants does a table-side guacamole, and they add bacon to it. I took that one step further and added bacon grease right into the guacamole as well. This just adds a rich flavor and takes your guac to the next level. I also like adding shallots, scallions, and tajin to my guacamole because again, it creates a robust flavor profile.

Happy cooking from the Hollow!
