To form the bacon cups, carefully line each muffin cup with a slice of bacon, pressing it against the sides and bottom to create a cup shape. You may need to overlap slightly or use a half-slice to secure the bottom if your bacon is shorter.

Bake the bacon cups for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your bacon and your oven. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

Once cooked, carefully remove the bacon cups from the oven. Using tongs, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease. Let them cool slightly; they will crisp up more as they cool.

While the bacon cups are cooling, prepare the guacamole. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed avocados, diced red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined, but still chunky.

Once the bacon cups are cool enough to handle, spoon the guacamole mixture into each bacon cup. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
