Holy Guacamole!
November 14, 2011Seriously? Another yummy food holiday I had no idea about? WTF???? Apparently, today was National Spicy Guacamole Day. Don’t believe me??? Open the internet and get the Google up.
Even though today was one of the first time I’ve had a serious case of the Mondays in a long time, I wasn’t going to let this holiday go by without at least an attempt at spicing things up in this household. So, after an extremely long day, this is what I came up with.
Savor your spicy night with a glass of red wine, Monday Night Football, and your favorite spicy lover!
Chipotle Mango Guacamole
- 2 avocados, pitted and diced
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- 1/2 serrano pepper, diced
- Juice from 1 lime
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 small sweet onion, diced
- 1/2 mango, diced
- 1 chipotle pepper, diced
- Salt
In a molcajete or large bowl, mash all of the ingredients together until they’re all combined. Serve with some warmed tortilla chips.
My thoughts:
Minus the fact that mangoes aren’t in season, this guacamole was epic. Seriously, the heat was perfect, there was a hint of sweetness from the mango, and the smokiness from the chipotle was perfect. Now if only the Packers would lose a game….

Maybe this isn’t the season for the mango; however, any season is ripe for this guacamole! Nice job!
