Best Ever Chunky Guacamole - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 avocados, preferably Haas and medium in size
    6 slices bacon
    1 teaspoon bacon fat (reserved and rendered from cooking the bacon)
    3 large scallions, sliced thin, about 1/3 cup
    1 medium garlic clove, pressed (If you don't have a garlic press, just mince the garlic. I usually use 2 or three garlic cloves)
    1 small jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and minced
    1/4 cup cilantro leaf, minced
    salt, to taste
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (more or less to taste)
    2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh squeezed)
Preparation
    Fry bacon on stovetop until crisp.
    Drain bacon and reserve at least 1 teaspoon of rendered bacon fat.
    When bacon is cool to touch, crumble it.
    Halve one of the avacados, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
    Mash the flesh lightly with the scallions, garlic, chile, cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cumin with the tines of a fork until just combined.
    Add the bacon crumbles and bacon fat and combine with avacado mixture.
    Halve, pit, and CUBE the remaining 2 avocados. Add the cubes to the bowl with the mashed avocado mixture.
    Sprinkle the lime juice over the diced avocado and mix the entire contents of the bowl lightly with a fork until combined but still chunky. Adjust the seasongs with salt if necessary,(you can add a bit more bacon fat if you like), and serve.
