They say you shouldn't break what's broken, but we're going to go ahead and say that rule doesn't quite apply to guacamole [1]. The classic mix of avocado [2], red onion, and cilantro sure is yummy as heck, but you can't tell us that the idea of adding a bit of bacon, chili pepper, or chicharrón doesn't sound mind-blowing.

We asked Chef James [3], the author of The Homemade Chef who appears on Telemundo's Un Nuevo Día, to give us a cheat sheet to the most original yet easy-to-make guacamole recipes he loves to whip up when it's time to impress his friends. His list is so delicious and creative, you're probably already hitting print and getting ready to display it on your fridge and reference it as often as possible.
