- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup Homemade mayo
- 1/2 cup cooked chopped bacon

Notes
- If you don't want to make mayo from scratch (which I promise you is super simple) look for one made with avocado or olive oil.
- Throw in a few fermented jalapeños for the adults.
- Ideally you want to use an avocado that is not overly ripe so it keeps its shape.
