Green Chile and Roasted Tomato Guacamole-an easy appetizer or side dish that goes great with any Mexican meal!
When I went to Austin last month, I ate a lot of Mexican food. I was in heaven. One of the best things I ate in Austin was the Green Chile and Roasted Tomato Guacamole recipe Jenny and I created during our little cooking challenge. Our guacamole didn't win the grand prize, but that didn't stop everyone from eating it! The bowl was licked clean! It was a hit!
I couldn't wait to make our guacamole creation at home! I knew Josh would love it and I was right! It is now one of our favorite guacamole recipes!
I love sitting down with a big bowl of guacamole and tortilla chips. I will eat, eat, and eat until the bowl is gone. I can never stop myself.
I especially love this guacamole recipe because the Old El Paso green chiles and roasted tomatoes add the perfect kick of flavor. They make the guacamole extra special!
This is a great guacamole recipe for summer because you can use your garden tomatoes. Roasting the tomatoes doesn't take long and it brings out the best flavor. The roasted tomatoes taste like candy…maybe even better!
The guacamole also has other goodies like cilantro, lime, red onion, jalapeño, and cotija cheese. It is great with tortilla chips or you can serve it along side your favorite Mexican dish!
The next time you want to get your guacamole on, make Green Chile and Roasted Tomato Guacamole. It is sure to cure your guacamole craving.
