Homemade Guacamole with a Twist

May 27, 2017  Recipes | Uncategorized

This red pepper jalapeno guacamole recipe takes traditional guacamole to the next level! Spicy and smoky with a bit of crunch, this recipe is a crowd pleaser.

Red Pepper Jalapeno Guacamole Recipe - an unexpected twist on a classic! kellyelko.com #guacamole #guac #recipes #appetizers #cincodemayo #mexicanfood #partyfood #dips

Nothing screams summer like a big bowl of guacamole, tortilla chips for dipping and an ice cold margarita.

My hubby’s guacamole has a twist and the best part is you can tweak it.

In under 10 minutes you can whip up a fresh batch of creamy goodness and impress your friends and family.

In my red pepper jalapeno guacamole recipe, red pepper replaces the usual tomato and adds a little crunch while cumin gives the guac a nice smoky flavor.

I don’t like the overpowering flavor of raw onions so I don’t add them but if you love them, by all means add them in!

I love unique serving pieces and this one takes the cake (or should I say the chips)! How fun is my Senorita Chip and Dip Bowl  – it’s a definite conversation starter.

I recently discovered Amara and was thrilled to partner with them because they have an eclectic mix of unique things for the home like this adorable Cactus Vase filled with my first peony of the season.

If you’ve always wanted peonies in your garden, read my Tips on Planting Peonies so They Bloom.

Love this recipe for red pepper jalapeno guacamole and the Senorita chip and dip bowl is fabulous! kellyelko.com #guacamole #guac #recipes #appetizers #cincodemayo #mexicanfood #partyfood #dips

Tip – How to Tell if Avocados are Ripe

Not sure if your avocados are ripe? Check the stem – if it comes off easily and is green underneath, the avocado is ripe and ready to eat. If it’s brown, the avocado is overripe and will have brown spots inside. If the stem doesn’t come off easily, it’s not ready to eat.

Go ahead, dig in.
