Ingredients

* 1 ripe avocado
* 1 Tbsp green chilies
* 2 strips bacon, diced and fried crisp
* 2 Tbsp sweet onion, finely diced or grated

Directions
|
1. Chop the avocado up in a bowl, then add the remaining ingredients.
2. Blend with a fork until slightly smooth but some avocado chunks remain.
3. Cut tops off cherry tomatoes (about a pint) and, using a small sharp knife, cut out the insides (save for another use) and arrange on a platter, cut side up. If any won't stand upright, cut a small amount off the bottom (without cutting through) to make the bottom flat.
4. Fill the tomatoes with the avocado mixture, and top with a cilantro leaf if desired.
5. Serve cold.

Guacamole and tomatoes are perfect complements to each other. I've attempted many recipes that combine the two, but the problem I've had making guacamole is it comes out bland tasting. Problem solved! The addition of chilies and bacon in this recipe really kick the flavor up a couple notches. It tastes perfect with the fresh tomatoes. Enjoy this low-carb treat either as a snack or as a light lunch.
