This recipe is a twist on a dish from one of the local Mexican spots in Newport Beach, Sol Cocina. They use goat cheese and while amazing, I believe I improved on it with bacon. My only caveat is, make sure you have lots of chips as scooping it out of the dish with your hands can get messy.

Bacon Garlic Guacamole

INGREDIENTS:

1 head of garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
Sea salt & pepper
5 strips center cut bacon, uncooked
3 avocados, pitted
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of one lime
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the top off of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Pour olive oil on garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Loosely wrap in aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Lay bacon on a rack with a drip pan underneath. Cook for 10 -12 minutes in same oven until bacon starts to get crisp. When it cools, cut the bacon into smaller pieces. When garlic is done, cool for five minutes and then squeeze out into a bowl. Add avocados, onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Mash it up and mix in bacon. Add salt to taste and this definitely just serves one.
