Blt With Spicy Guacamole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place bacon in a single layer in two 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheets. Cook in the oven until browned and crisp, turning over halfway through cooking time, 15 to 20 minutes. You may need to drain off some of the fat about halfway through cooking time. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined pan to drain; discard fat.
• Place avocadoes in a bowl with lime juice, and mash with a fork until chunky but spreadable.
• Using a large serrated knife, split focaccia horizontally. Spread bottom with avocado mixture; layer with bacon, oven-dried tomatoes, and lettuce. Spread remaining focaccia with mayonnaise, if desired, and top sandwich. Cut into 12 squares, and serve.

Steps:

• Add avocados and lemon juice to a medium mixing bowl; mash until desired consistency is almost reached. Stir in tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno peppers, garlic, cilantro, salt, red pepper flakes, pepper, and cayenne. Taste guacamole and adjust for seasoning.

Steps:

• For the guacamole, peel the avocado and place the flesh in a bowl.
• Lightly mash with fork.
• Add remaining ingredients to taste and mix well. *Use food processor if you want a smoother guacamole.
• Cover and set aside.
• For the BLT, place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil to the skillet.
• Add the bacon and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
• Spread each halve of the rolls with guacamole, followed by 2 slices of bacon, tomato slices and finish with a handful of arugula leaves and top of roll.
• Serve while bacon is still warm.

Steps:

• Mash the avocados with a fork and combine with the red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In small pot, boil 2-3 jalepenos. (If your jalepenos aren't very hot, you can add more.) Boil them for about 20 minutes on medium heat, or until they're squishy. You'll know they're ready when the color turns muted. The tops should just pull right off.
• With tops off, squeeze them gently to remove excess water. Put them in the bowl that will contain your guacamole. With a fork, mash them up into small, squished bits, making sure it separates instead of sticking together.
• Peel, deseed, and halve the avocados. Add them to the jalepenos and mix VERY well. You want to make sure you distribute the jalepenos evenly.
• Squeeze the lemon to add juice into the mixture. Add salt and garlic powder and mix again.
