Ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pineapple (about 1/2-inch cubes)
- 4 avocados, fruit scraped out
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 8 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Directions
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the bacon. Cook until totally crispy and the fat is rendered, stirring occasionally. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to drain the grease. Increase the heat under the skillet to medium and add the pineapple cubes, tossing to coat. Cook until the pineapple gets golden and caramely, about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping once or twice to caramelize all sides. Remove and let the pineapple cool slightly.
-
In a large bowl, mash together the avocado, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, the juice of 2 limes, salt and pepper. Taste and season additionally if desired. Stir in almost all of the pineapple and bacon, then stir in the goat cheese. Scoop the guac into a bowl to serve and top with the remaining pineapple and bacon for garnish. Serve immediately.
