Ingredients

• 2 avocados
• 2 green plantains
• sea salt & black pepper
• cumin (1/2 teaspoon, or more)
• red chili powder (1/2 teaspoon, or more)
• cayenne (1/2 teaspoon, or more)
• 4 strips bacon
• 1/3 onion, diced
• salsa of choice (~1/4 cup)
• juice from 1/3 lime

Use a knife to peel the plantains and slice them thinly at an angle, so the chips are longer (with more surface area for piling on guacamole). Toss the slices in the olive oil and the amounts of spices that suit you; I’d suggest at least a half teaspoon of each. Spread the chips in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 400° for about 17 minutes, flipping half way through– watch them so they don’t burn.
While the chips are baking, fry up the bacon, then brown the onions in the leftover grease. You could also caramelize the onions for a slightly sweet flavor. Fire up the grill, griddle or George Foreman and slice the avocados in half. Remove the pit, brush the halves with olive oil and set the avocados on the grill, flesh-down, until slightly charred– keep an eye on them so they can be removed quickly. Chop the bacon and mash it together with all the other ingredients (except plantains), then dig in.

LOL!

I dislike living in a world where a publisher, who wants to leave a blank page in the middle, has to print on it “This Page Intentionally Left Blank” to avoid getting emails about a blank page.
