BACON GUACAMOLE - Guacamole and chips are a classic party favorite, but how about kicking it up a notch with some crunchy bacon bits?  This delicious combination is so easy to make and you can even use it as a sandwich spread.   However, although this recipe serves two, I'll be the first to admit that I ate three quarters all by my happy self so consider doubling, even quadrupling if you're expecting company.  Don't expect leftovers however, just some well-deserved compliments.  ¡Buen Provecho!  Lynda


Start with fresh ingredients.  That's the key to perfection.

An instant party favorite!  It will be your new go-to dish!
