Spicy Roasted Tomato Guacamole
So I have officially decided that along with soup, beef, and ice cream {which melts as your photographing it}. Guacamole is super hard to make look “pretty” in a picture.
I mean really, it is mushed up green stuff and then when combined with roasted cherry tomatoes {like in this particular guacamole} there are now red seeds and swirls going through the green mushy stuff. UGhhh!!! Just when I was feeling good about my photography.
Oh well, sometimes the things that don’t always look amazeballs sure to do taste amazeballs and THIS is one of those dishes!
This Spicy Guacamole is killer! The flavor from the sweet roasted cherry tomatoes mixed with the heat from the roasted jalapeño will blow your mind. But why stop there? So I topped it off with a little citrus from lime juice AND orange juice. I know… orange juice?!? Just trust me, it adds so much to the dish and leaves people with a “whats in that guacamole” question after their finished. I topped mine with a little crumbled queso fresco, because both my boys love CHEESE. But you can totally omit it if you choose
How to Make The Best Guacamole

In a bowl, add roasted cherry tomatoes, diced jalapeño, 1/4 cup of diced red onions, and 1 minced garlic clove.
Mash up 4 avocados and put in bowl with the rest of the vegetables.
Add juice from 1 lime, juice from half an orange, salt and pepper. Mix together and serve! {optional: top with crumbled queso fresco}
