Spicy Guacamole
JojoM
A zesty and vibrant guacamole with peas, coriander, Espelette pepper, and green Tabasco. Perfect with tacos or as a dip. Inspired by French cuisine with a spicy twist.
🥑 Spicy Guacamole — Fresh, Zesty & Full of Character
This vibrant and spicy guacamole brings together creamy avocado, sweet peas, bold Espelette pepper, and a splash of green Tabasco 🌶️. It’s a French-inspired twist on the classic Mexican dip, creating a bright, citrusy bowl of goodness perfect for tacos, snacks, or a colourful appetizer spread.
🌱 A French-Inspired Spin on a Classic
Peas may seem unexpected, but they add a gentle sweetness and vivid colour while keeping the dip light. Coriander brings freshness, Espelette pepper adds a warm aromatic heat, and lime ties everything together with a sharp citrus kick 🍋. It’s quick, easy, and endlessly adaptable.
🥣 How This Guacamole Comes Together
Start by boiling the peas until tender, then mash them together with ripe avocado using just a fork. Fold in coriander, lime, and chili, and finish with drops of green Tabasco for that lively tang. The texture should stay slightly chunky — rustic is the goal here!
🌮 Perfect for Tacos, Chips, or Grazing Boards
Serve your guacamole with warm tacos, crunchy nachos, or simply spoon it generously over grilled meats. Add extra lime zest, coriander leaves, or even a sprinkle of seeds for added crunch and visual flair ✨. It keeps beautifully and stays green thanks to the lime.
💡 Tips to Make It Even Better
- Add mixed seeds (pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, flax) for extra crunch.
- Frozen peas work perfectly — use them straight from the freezer before blending or mashing.
- Taste as you go: lime, salt, and Tabasco balance the flavours beautifully.
🥑 Why You’ll Love This
Fast, healthy, and packed with flavour, this guacamole isn’t just a dip — it’s a little bowl of sunshine. Whether you’re entertaining or just craving something fresh and spicy, it’s ready in under 20 minutes and always delivers. Enjoy it with whatever you’re cooking tonight! 🌶️🥑✨
