Instructions

  1. Roast chile on the stove top until the outside chars and blackens. Let it cool and then wipe off the charred layer with a towel. Cut the stem off of the chile and slit it open. Using a knife, scrape off the seeds and discard them. Dice the roasted chile and place in a medium bowl.

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

Serving Suggestions: Recipe creator Kate says, "Serve with everything!"

* Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.

  • 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.
