Bold Bites: Bacon Guac Bombs for the Flavor Brave

How to make Bacon Guac Bombs?

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 jalapeño, minced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8–10 slices bacon (thin or regular cut works best)

Instructions:

1. Make the Guacamole Filling: In a bowl, mash the avocados and mix with lime juice, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Chill for 10–15 minutes to firm up slightly.
2. Form the Bombs: Scoop guac into small balls (use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop). Place them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for about 20–30 minutes, just until firm.
3. Wrap with Bacon: Cut bacon slices in half if needed. Wrap each guac ball with a piece of bacon, fully enclosing the guac. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
4. Cook:

• Air Fryer: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
• Oven: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes on a rack over a baking sheet.
• Cook until bacon is crispy all over.
• Cool Slightly & Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temp.
