Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Well, since guacamole is my new favorite thing, I just had to try this after seeing it floating around on Pinterest for weeks. Wonderful. Just wonderful. Healthy? Ehhhh...not so much, but tasty!

If you have your own guacamole recipe you can make that, or if you follow the link to where I got this from (Closet Cooking), then you can pull up his recipe for guacamole. You all KNOW I didn't make my own ;) I picked up a box of Wholly Guacamole...

...at the grocery store. Why this brand? Well, partly because my Mom has tried this before and raved about it, but mainly because it was the only prepared guacamole I saw. When I opened this I was pleasantly surprised to see that this came in 3 individual pouches (yes, I realize it says that on the box, but I didn't read the box, I just threw it in the cart, thrilled that I didn't have to make my own). I was able to use one pouch for my sandwich, saving the other two for when I make this again at a later date.

I pretty much made this exactly as stated, except I used Italian bread instead of sourdough. Oh, and I know the tortilla chips say 'optional' next to them...use them. Seriously, they really add a nice crunch to the sandwich. You can always use the rest of the bag to dip in salsa, but I definitely suggest adding them to this sandwich.
