Mango and Bacon Guacamole

Filed under: MadCookery — madcook @ 10:11 pm

Time: 20 minutes preparation

Ingredients:

  • 3 Avocados
  • 2 Jalapeno Peppers
  • 1 Mango
  • 1 small Red Onion
  • 2 strips of bacon
  • 1 pinch of Ancho Chili Pepper Powder
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro minced
  • Juice of 1 Lime (only use a fresh lime for this, not pre-prepared lime juice)
  • Salt 
  • Black Pepper (fresh ground gives the best taste)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the bacon by any method until crisp. Degrease and let cool. Once cool, finely dice.
  2. Cube the mango into small cubes
  3. Deseed and dice the Jalapeno’s
  4. Dice the onion
  5. Pit the avocado and smash into a chunky paste in a bowl
  6. Add the jalapeno, mango, onion, bacon, ancho powder, cilantro, and lime juice
  7. Stir until well mixed
  8. Salt and Pepper to taste

This dish can be served immediately or covered tightly and held in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Like any Guacamole the avocados will begin to blacken after several hours, so it is best served fresh. If the top does blacken the taste will not be affected, so just stir until the color is consistent or scrape off the black layer to maintain the bright green. It will keep, well covered, in the refrigerator for about 2 days until the taste is affected.
