Ingredients

Chipotle Southwest Guacamole

  • 3 avocados pitted
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 jalapeño seeded + chopped
  • juice and zest from 1 lime
  • 1 in chipotle pepper adobo chopped + 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/2 cup roasted corn
  • 1/3 cup black beans rinsed + drained if using canned
  • 1/3 cup catija cheese crumbled

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes clean then prick all over with a fork. Bake the potatoes for about an hour or until the potatoes are cooked through and give a little when pressed.
  • To cook the potatoes in the microwave, rub all over with olive oil and cook on the high setting for about 5 minutes per potato. I have found that I prefer baking the potatoes in the oven and think oven baked potatoes are easier to work with.
  • While the potatoes cook, fry the bacon in a skillet or on a griddle until crisp. Drain on paper towels, allow to cool and then crumble the bacon.
  • To make the guacamole, mash the avocados in a medium size bowl (I left mine pretty chunky, but go as chunky or as smooth as you like). Add the cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, chipotle chile in adobo + adobo sauce, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and fold in the roasted corn, black beans and cotija cheese.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and increase the heat of the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool enough to handle and then cut in half horizontally. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the insides, reserving the scooped potatoes for another use and leaving about 1/4 of an inch of potato on the skin.
  • Brush or rub both the inside and outside of the skins with melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan, bake for about 10-15 minutes or until crisp. Remove from oven and divide the cheddar cheese among the shells. Sprinkle with bacon. Place back in the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove and sprinkle with green onions and any remaining bacon. Serve warm with guacamole, yogurt and fried eggs.
