Ingredients

For the Guacamole:

2 ripe avocados, peeled and mashed
6 oz cream cheese, softened
Juice of 1 lime
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

For Assembly:

12 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the guacamole in step one.

In a big bowl, mix together mashed avocado, cream cheese, lime juice, garlic, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, cumin, and chili powder.
Stir until mostly smooth; some tiny avocado bits are acceptable.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
To firm the mixture up for rolling, chill it in the fridge for roughly 30 minutes.

Step 2: Create the Snack Bombs

On a big platter, scatter the crumbled bacon.
Scoop the cooled guacamole blend into bite-sized balls using a little cookie scoop or spoon.
Roll the crumbled bacon over each ball until it is uniformly coated.
Keep going till all the guacamole is gone.

Step 3: Serve and Store

Put completed bites in an airtight container.
Keep in the fridge until time to serve. Enjoy it best in 2–3 days.

TIPS

Like a more even texture? Mash the guacamole mixture more completely.
Looking for more heat? Leave the jalapeño seeds in or sprinkle some hot sauce.
Ideal for low-carb party starters or dinner preparation.
