Just the name “bacon guacamole enchilada,” makes my comfort food heart melt. First of all it has my favorite veggie, bacon in the recipe. The salty sweet pork makes my whole day smile like a beautiful sunrise on the beach. A creamy citrus avocado center wrapped in a warm blanket of cheesy tortilla. OMG dinner dreams come true.
Living in NYC we have very few really good Mexican restaurants (If you visit NYC, Dos Toros is my favorite, get the Carne Asada quesadillas). So I make allot of Mexican food in my apartment. When Tom comes home from work he smiles when he sees this on the table. So now I have to share this with you because you will love it too!
Happy Guacamole Tips:
- Try this life changing way to cut an avocado! The seed just falls out! (click here to see how!)
- Use vinegar instead of limes. See recipe below! Vinegar brightens and brings out the natural creamy citrus flavor in a super wow way. Also, keeps the guacamole green.
- Add chipotle, old bay, taco seasoning or any of your fave spices. Just a teaspoon at a time and taste. You want to make sure you still taste the avocado.
