Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 6 slices bacon
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 0.25 cups cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)
- as desired tortilla chips or vegetable sticks for serving
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool before crumbling into small pieces.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork until creamy but slightly chunky, or blend for a smoother consistency.
In the same bowl, add the sour cream, softened cream cheese, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Fold in the crumbled bacon, reserving some pieces for garnish if desired.
If using, stir in chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with reserved bacon bits and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
