To celebrate the “Big Game” and a favorite game-day snack, guacamole, Avocados from Mexico is hosting its first ever Guac Bowl on Pinterest and they have asked me and three other bloggers from around the country to create recipes using avocados.
When they told me that the recipe should somehow represent my area of the country, I knew right away that it had to include bacon. We love avocados at our house and luckily avocados from Mexico are available year-round, so you can serve up avocado dishes from Thanksgiving Day to Game Day, from Cinco de Mayo to the Fourth of July.
This quick and easy recipe packs a lot of flavor and has quickly become a new favorite it our house.
