More About This Recipe

  • This guacamole starts out life the regular way, but adding roasted red peppers takes it to a new level. It’s a rare day that we advocate for going beyond your basic guacamole recipe. At the end of the day, good guacamole is as easy as ripe avocados, salt, lime and maybe some cilantro and peppers. Anything else and you risk upsetting that perfect balance of flavor. That being said, this roasted red pepper guacamole is worth the extra ingredients. The roasted pepper adds a subtle, extra savory dimension to the guacamole, but it doesn’t get in the way of the good flavors that people love.
