Just in case you’re like me and lucky/unlucky enough to have accidentally ordered 10 avocados instead of 2, and they showed up at your door very very ripe, this recipe will hopefully help you use them up deliciously.
I’ve been making this simple Spicy Guacamole for years. It is a fun and very simple snack that I make anytime we have super ripe avocados in the house. My spicy food lovers adore the added heat and I especially love that it comes together in less than ten minutes. In a pinch, if you don’t have fresh jalapenos in the fridge or minced ones stashed in the freezer, you can use canned jalapenos. (When I use canned peppers, I typically increase the amount a little bit, just to make sure we don’t miss out on the heat.) I finally succumbed to the awesomeness of guacamole about 7 years ago when I tried this Roasted Garlic and Bacon Guacamole. I made it so many times that summer, I’m surprised my skin didn’t turn green. It’s truly fantastic. Since then, I’ve made guacamole a number of different ways and it has grown to be a favorite with our whole family. You’ll want to try Pomegranate Guacamole and Green Chile Guacamole too if you’re fortunate enough to have those ingredients on hand.
