Cut the avocados in half pole-to-pole and twist them open. Remove the pit.
-
With a large spoon, scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl. Mash it with a large fork until it’s chunky-smooth.
-
Add 2 teaspoons vinegar, garlic powder, and the hot pepper sauce; mix well. Reserve 1 tablespoon each of bacon and blue cheese for garnish, and gently fold the rest into the guacamole.
-
Taste the guacamole on a chip or cracker, then adjust seasoning with salt. If it tastes flat, add another ½ to 1 teaspoon vinegar.
To Serve:
-
Transfer to a serving bowl, then garnish with reserved blue cheese and bacon.
-
This guacamole is best enjoyed within 2 hours. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day.
