Notes

Suggested Variations
  • Smoky Guacamole: Roast the Cubanelle pepper and mini peppers over an open flame or under the broiler before chopping. Their charred flavor adds a subtle smokiness.
  • Mango Guacamole: Add ½ cup diced ripe mango for a sweet and tangy twist. Pairs beautifully with grilled fish or chicken.
  • Spicy Guacamole: Double the fresh chile or stir in a teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Nutty Guacamole: Sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds just before serving for crunch and depth.
  • Mediterranean Guacamole: Fold in a handful of crumbled feta and a drizzle of olive oil for a Greek-inspired variation.
