Instructions
- In a large sauté pan, heat oil over low to medium-low heat. Add onion, chiles, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly caramelized.
- Pour in the tequila and immediately tilt pan towards burner’s flames to ignite the mixture, which will last for a few seconds. Cook for another minute to allow the alcohol from the tequila to evaporate. Remove from the heat and reserve.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the avocados along with the lime juice and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Incorporate half of the crumbled feta cheese, mix well and taste for salt.
- Scrape the avocado mix into a serving bowl, top with guajillo mixture, chopped bacon and remaining feta cheese and serve with tortilla chips.
