Ingredients:

Serving

5 slices bacon (smoky is great here)
3 ripe avocados (about 1 1/4 lb)
1/2 medium white onion, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
2 chipotle chiles in adobo , removed from the canning sauce, stemmed, slit open, seeds scraped out, and finely chopped
1 medium-large ripe tomato, cored and chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup loosely packed and coarsely chopped fresh cilantro , thick bottom stems cut off
salt
1 tbsp fresh lime juice (to taste)

Directions:

In a large, 10-inch skillet, cook bacon in a single layer over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces.
Cut around each avocado, from stem to blossom end and back again, then twist 2 halves apart. Scoop out pit and discard. Scoop flesh from skin into a large bowl. Using an old-fashioned potato masher or a large fork or spoon, mash avocados into a coarse puree.
Scoop onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold water. Shake off excess water and transfer to bowl, along with chipotle chilies, tomato, cilantro (save a little for garnish if you wish), and about 2/3 bacon. (If guacamole isn't being served right away, don't add bacon until just before serving, because it loses crispness as it sits in guacamole.) Gently stir to combine all ingredients. Taste and season with salt (usually about 1/2 teaspoon) and enough lime juice to add a little sparkle.
Cover with plastic wrap directly on surface of guacamole and refrigerate until ready to serve. Scoop guacamole into a serving dish, sprinkle with remaining bacon (and cilantro if you have it), and you're ready to serve.
