Guacamole with some KICK!

Guacamole is always a favorite snack in my household. We love avocados, but sometimes it's good to experiment a little with your favorite recipes. In doing so, you may just find an amazing taste, still using your original ingredients, but with a little KICK!



I added a little tequila to our guacamole and it is awesome! Here is the recipe if anyone wants to give it a try:

Ingredients:

  • 4 fully ripened avocados (halved, pitted and peeled)
  • 2 ounces white onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 ounces jalapenos, or your favorite pepper (finely chopped)
  • 2 ounces pickled carrots (finely chopped)
  • 2 ounces tequila (any brand)
  • 2 ounces vinegar (best if used from pickled jalapenos)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Juice from 1/2 of a lime
  • Oregano (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)


Directions:

  • Mix the jalapeno, carrots, onion, lime juice, oregano, vinegar and tequila. 
  • Marinate for 2-3 minutes
  • Mash the avocado with a fork or masher 
  • Mix the avocado and marinade together, add salt and olive oil.


Serve with your favorite chips and enjoy!
