2 ripe, Fresh California Avocados(about 2 cups) seeded and peeled 3 strips cooked bacon, crumbled into small pieces 2 Tbsp. diced tomato, (¼-inch dice) 2 Tbsp. diced red onion, (¼ inch dice) 2 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped 1/2 cup queso fresco 2 tsp. minced jalapeno 1 lime, juiced As needed Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  1. Put avocado into a medium mixing bowl and mash with a fork, spoon or potato masher.
  2. Add remaining ingredients and gently stir to combine.

Chef’s tip: if guacamole isn’t being served right away, reserve bacon and add just before serving so it remains crisp. Also, place plastic wrap directly on top of guacamole to prevent browning.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
