Step-by-step

• Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C/ 375 degrees F.
• Line a baking tray with baking paper.
• Lay the bacon strips out flat on the baking paper, leaving space so they don't overlap.
• Place the tray in the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown. The time depends on the thickness of the bacon slices.
• When done, remove from the oven and set aside to cool down.
• Halve, deseed and peel the avocado.
• Place the avocado, butter, chili pepper, crushed garlic, cilantro and lime juice into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Mash using a potato masher or a fork until well combined.
• Add the diced onion and mix well.
• Pour in the bacon grease from the tray where you baked the bacon and mix well.
• Cover with a foil and place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
• Crumble the bacon into small pieces and prepare for "breading."
• Remove the guacamole mixture from the fridge and start creating 6 balls. You can use a spoon or an ice-cream scooper.
• Roll each ball in the bacon crumbles and place on a tray that will fit in the fridge.
