Ingredients
- 5 slices of cooked bacon, roughly chopped & reserve 1 tbsp of the bacon grease

Add the drained beans and about 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid to your food processor. Pulse until smooth.
Add in the chopped avocado, lime juice, tbsp of reserved bacon grease and the prepared salsa. Pulse again until it is well incorporated and smooth. Add more reserved liquid from the can of beans if needed.
Transfer to a serving bowl and fold in the chopped bacon, reserving a little of the bacon to garnish the top.

Store any leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Enjoy!

Bacon just makes everything better. Am I right or am I right? ;)
There is definitely no need to have to choose between guacamole, salsa, or hummus when you can have the best of all three in just one dip!
Are you a guacamole lover, a salsa fiend, or a hummus dipper? (Psssttt... you don't have to choose just one when you can make this Bacon Guaca-Hummus! ;) )
