Notes on Ingredients

• Beef Bacon: This gives a crispy, smoky element to the guacamole, replacing traditional pork bacon for a beefy twist. It’s important to cook the beef bacon until crisp, ensuring a nice texture contrast.
• Roasted Garlic: Roasting garlic brings out a sweet and mellow flavor, adding richness to the guacamole without overpowering it.
• Avocados: Make sure the avocados are ripe for the best texture—creamy and smooth.
• Red Onion: Adds a touch of sharpness that complements the creaminess of the avocado.
• Cilantro: Fresh cilantro brings brightness and freshness to balance the rich flavors.

How to Make Beef Bacon and Roasted Garlic Guacamole

1. Prepare the Roasted Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the top off a head of garlic, exposing the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then wrap in foil. Roast for about 30 minutes, or until the garlic is lightly browned and tender.
2. Cook the Beef Bacon: While the garlic is roasting, chop the beef bacon and cook it in a skillet until crispy. Just before it’s fully cooked, add the minced red onion and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and drain any excess grease.
3. Mash the Avocados: In a medium bowl, add the avocados and squeeze in the roasted garlic. Add the lime juice and cayenne pepper, then mash roughly until combined.
4. Combine: Stir in the beef bacon and onion mixture along with the chopped cilantro. Add salt to taste.
5. Serve: Your Beef Bacon and Roasted Garlic Guacamole is ready to enjoy!
