Directions
Step 1
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool before crumbling into small pieces.
Step 2
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Step 3
Mash the avocados with a fork until creamy but slightly chunky, or blend for a smoother consistency.
Step 4
In the same bowl, add the sour cream, softened cream cheese, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 5
Fold in the crumbled bacon, reserving some pieces for garnish if desired.
Step 6
If using, stir in chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor.
Step 7
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with reserved bacon bits and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Step 8
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
