Looking for a delicious game day appetizer? It doesn’t get much better than this Bacon Guacamole. With a smoky heat and a kick of garlic, this one will keep your taste buds singing.
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mission®. All opinions are entirely my own.
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.)

Now that is what I call next level guac! I have to try this recipe. It looks like something everyone in my family would love.
OMG, I never thought to add bacon to guac. I’ve had it in a sandwich but, this would be next-level. MMMM!
We use Mission tortillas in our home too! This bacon guac looks fantastic and indeed you gotta have guac when watching football!
This looks delicious. I’ve never made my own guacamole – and our family buys it by the POUND! Thank you!
This 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!
First 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.
That is a great way to step up some guac. Bacon makes anything better.
I’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
Well you had me at guacamole. The addition of bacon? Genius! I’m trying it.
This looks amazingly delicious! While I personally don’t eat meat, I know many people in my family that would love this recipe.
Both the hubs and I are big fans of guacamole. We’ve never had guac with bacon in it though. Sounds delish!
