    BLT Guacamole Recipe

    This spicy guacamole recipe blends one of America’s favorite sandwiches, the BLT, with one of America’s favorite dips, guacamole. Add some Chipotle chile peppers for a hint of smoky spice and you’ll have the best guac recipe you’ve served up for a long time. Let’s take a look.

    Bacon lettuce tomato guacamole served with tortilla chips.

    You don’t really need a recipe to make a bowl of simple guacamole. Ripe avocados, tomatoes, jalapeno, onion and a spritz of lime juice. And you’ve got the basic best guac recipe. And you’ve got it in a flash. Guacamole is so easy to make, so delicious and very healthy. 

    But man cannot live by bread alone. Or in this case by a basic guacamole recipe. A few years ago, Rick Bayless came to town for a lecture, and to promote his newly published cookbook. During that lecture he gave a cooking demonstration which included a few flavor variations on guacamole.

    What I learned from this simple demonstration was his theory about dressing up a guacamole recipe. Choose seasonal ingredients when you’re looking to get creative. Example, add pomegranates during the Winter holiday season, Add mango when your market offers this beautiful tropical fruit … and so on.

    How To Make BLT Guacamole

    Guacamole is one of the easiest party appetizer dips you can make. And with just a little bit more time and effort, you can enjoy this fun spicy guacamole recipe.

    • Cook five strips of bacon until crisp. Drain and break into small pieces.
    • Open a can of Chipotle Chiles in Adobo, slice the chiles, scrape out the seeds and veins and then chop. (Leave those seeds and veins in only if you’re a glutton for heat punishment.)
    • Chop cherry tomatoes. A mix of red, yellow and orange are a good choice here.
    • Shred iceberg lettuce in short shredded strips.

    This spicy guacamole can be made ahead to travel to your next party. Just mix all ingredients together and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole. Press out as much of the air as possible. Refrigerate until ready to go. Remember, cold air and no air are Avocados best friend.

    Just save out some chopped tomato, some bacon pieces and shaved lettuce to garnish the top right before serving.

    I hope you give this spicy guacamole recipe a try, and if you do, please come back and give the recipe a star rating and leave a comment about your experience with the recipe.

    And if you have a favorite guacamole dip recipe that’s embellished from the basic guacamole recipe, let me know, I’d love to give it a try.

      I’ve always known that bacon makes everything better but have never added it to guacamole. Well, apparently it makes that even better as well. Not something I thought possible.

      Lea Ann, when I make this I’m going to make just a small batch because I know I’m going to make a meal of it and eat the whole thing myself!

      I might eat the entire bowl and just call it a meal. This looks so good. Btw- did you update your photo? I like your photo with you in action in the kitchen. Looks great!
