Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy and golden brown. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease.
-
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the guacamole by scooping out the flesh of the avocados into a bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork until you reach your desired consistency.
-
Add the minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocados. Mix everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preference.
-
To assemble the Mexican BLT, toast the slices of bread until golden brown. Spread a generous layer of guacamole on one side of each slice.
-
On half of the bread slices, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise. If you like an extra kick, drizzle a few dashes of hot sauce over the mayo.
-
Place a layer of sliced tomatoes on the guacamole side of the bread, followed by the lettuce leaves.
-
Top the lettuce with a generous portion of crispy bacon. For a heartier sandwich, add an extra layer of bacon.
-
Finish assembling the sandwiches by placing the remaining guacamole-coated bread slices on top of the bacon.
-
Before serving, drizzle a little olive oil over the assembled sandwiches for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Serve your Mexican BLTs fresh and enjoy the delightful combination of crispy bacon, creamy guacamole, juicy tomatoes, and crisp lettuce!
