Chef's Tips
For extra crispiness, broil the bacon-wrapped avocado bites for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
You can substitute the sriracha with other hot sauces like Tabasco or cayenne pepper.
If you don't have lime juice, lemon juice works as a substitute.
To prevent the avocado from browning, squeeze a little extra lime juice over the cut avocado before wrapping it with bacon.
