  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 sweet onion, diced small
  • 4 ripe, Fresh California Avocados, seeded and peeled

  2. Add remaining ingredients and mash together. Recipe creator Kate uses a bent fork to make it easy.

Keeping the Heat
If you can nor find Anaheim chiles use a few drops roasted chipotle from the bottle (Tabasco or Clement Jacques are ok)

Have fun with it!
The great thing about this recipe is that you can try so many different versions and still wind up with a great guacamole. Use a white onion or yellow onion and have a completely different tasting guacamole. Try a different pepper or even better try a combination of peppers. A great recipe to make you own.

Super recipe
I love avocados, and enjoyed this recipe. I didn't roast the chilis, though, I used them fresh. But I like things a little hotter than most.
