Goat Feta and Bacon Guacamole

Greek and Mexican fare is ever popular in Houston's culinary scene, but they are not often spotted in the same dish. Our goat feta from Pure Luck has a lovely herbaceous undertone that blends well in a hearty guacamole.

 

This creative, yet simple snack is sure to impress. I know there is a sense of pride attached to one's guacamole recipe. Everyone loves their own guacamole! But the question we need to ask ourselves is: how could guacamole with goat feta and bacon be bad?

 

2 large Haas avocados

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 Jalapeno, seeds removed and chopped 

2-3 Limes, squeezed

1 bunch cilantro

Freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste

Chili powder and crushed red pepper, to taste

A few generous dashes of Cholula hot sauce 

4 oz Pure Luck Goat Feta, crumbled

1/4 lb. thick cut bacon (please see the nice folks at Revival Market)

 

2 dozen yellow corn tortillas, cut in fourths for chips

2 cups of canola oil

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375. Place bacon on a cookie sheet and lay fresh cilantro sprigs directly on top of uncooked bacon. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, flipping half way. Discard cilantro after baking and let bacon cool completely. Coarsely chop the cooked bacon. Combine avocado, onion, jalapeno, bacon, and feta. Add spices and hot sauce and squeeze fresh lime juice over all ingredients. Mix well and enjoy.

 

For homemade chips:

Heat oil over medium/high heat. Fry tortillas until golden brown. Strain on a paper towel lined plate and lightly salt.
