Preparation

Step 1

1- Heat a large skillet over med-hi heat. Add the bacon and cook until each side is brown and crisp, 7-10 min.
Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and let it cool completely.
Chop the bacon into small bits and set aside.
2- Mash the avocados in a medium bowl until the texture is semi-smooth. Stir in the crumbled bacon. Pat the chopped tomato dry with a paper towel and add to the avocado mixture. Gently stir in the onion, chiles, cilantro, and lime juice. Taste and add salt if necessary;
the bacon might add enough saltiness on its own.
