This Bacon Guacamole Recipe is the perfect gluten-free appetizer for game day! It is great as a dip and also fantastic in quesadillas!
I have said many times on the blog, that as much as I love football, one of my favorite parts of football season is planning the celebration. There is nothing more fun to me than getting friends and family together to watch the Big Game and enjoy delicious food.
Football and great food just go together!
And of course, you can’t have a football party without chips and dip.
Mission® Tortilla Chip Strips are the perfect shape to dip and have just four simple ingredients and sea salt. They are certified gluten-free, which is a huge bonus for me.
We also love Mission Super Soft Flour Tortillas! They are great for making burritos and quesadillas for your party, because they are the perfect softness and versatile.
I’ve paired my Mission Tortilla Chip Strips with this Bacon Guacamole.
Guys…you must try this one. I have always loved guacamole, and this Bacon Guacamole is my favorite one I’ve made yet. It has the perfect blend of creamy avocado and lime juice with a kick of chipotle chiles and garlic. And of course….bacon. I used turkey bacon, but feel free to use whatever bacon your family enjoys.
This Bacon Guacamole is perfect for the Big Game, especially since I can get Florida avocados right now! (They are much larger than other avocados.)
In addition to food, I always love to add a little decor to my football celebration.

January 2, 2018 at 9:57 PMOMG, I never thought to add bacon to guac. I’ve had it in a sandwich but, this would be next-level. MMMM!

January 3, 2018 at 2:15 PMThis looks delicious. I’ve never made my own guacamole – and our family buys it by the POUND! Thank you!

January 3, 2018 at 2:29 PMThis sounds really good for guac fans! I love Mexican foods but have never really liked guac. I think the bacon will help though, I should give it another try!

January 3, 2018 at 3:37 PMFirst off, bacon makes everything better. Secondly, I love guacamole, and with bacon in it, I’m over here drooling. We are fans of the Mission brand. I recently started using their chips for homemade nachos.

January 3, 2018 at 8:15 PMThat is a great way to step up some guac. Bacon makes anything better.

January 3, 2018 at 8:32 PMI’m assuming the bacon gets chopped up & mixed in? A friend likes everything spicy so he may like the peppers in it. I will have to try it without

January 3, 2018 at 11:01 PMWell you had me at guacamole. The addition of bacon? Genius! I’m trying it.
