Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Bacon Guac Bombs
  1. Mash 2 ripe avocados in a bowl until creamy, leaving some chunks. Mix in 4 ounces of cream cheese, lime juice, minced garlic, red onion, jalapeño, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Cook 8 strips of bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy yet pliable, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool and crumble into small pieces.
  3. Shape portions of the chilled guacamole filling into golf ball-sized balls. Roll each ball in the crumbled bacon until fully coated.
  4. Refrigerate the shaped Bacon Guac Bombs for at least 30 minutes before serving. Optionally sprinkle with cilantro and smoked paprika.
