Guacamole With Red Pepper
Get ready for next week's big game with this great dip—a classic guacamole with a twist.
Touchdown!
4 avocados, halved and pitted
Grated zest and juice of 1 limes (I just used lime juice)
4 slices red onion, diced (I used yellow onion)
1 jalapeno, finely diced (omitted - too spicy for me)
1/4 cup minced cilantro leaves (omitted because I didn't want to buy an entire bunch)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Tabasco (optional) (didn't add)
1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced

Scrape avocados into a bowl. Add lime zest and juice and mash with a spoon or fork until chunky or smooth—whichever you prefer. Stir in the onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and a good pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Next, add hot sauce, if desired. Fold in the red pepper. Serve with your favorite chips and wedges of bell peppers.
