Everything in this charred poblano and peppered bacon guacamole is pretty much perfection. All in one bite, you get spicy, salty, and creamy.

I have always been a very traditional guacamole gal. I never added anything ‘crazy’ to it. I feel like I have been completely missing out in life.

I don’t want you to miss out so I’m urging you to try this at your next gathering! You will pretty much be everyone’s new favorite and everyone will be asking you to bring the guac and wine every time there is a party.

Making this unique spicy Mexican appetizer makes for a great excuse for a celebration!

Make this charred poblano and peppered bacon guacamole and invite some friends over and turn on a movie or game and dip on!

Charred Poblano and Peppered Bacon Guacamole

By: Julie Chiou

This loaded guacamole has all the spice and flavors that pair perfectly with a glass of white zinfandel from Sutter Home!

Prep Time: 30 minutes minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes minutes

Servings: 6

Ingredients 

½1x2x3x

• ▢ 3 poblano peppers, charred and roasted
• ▢ 3 avocados, pitted
• ▢ ½ cup (80 g) chopped red onions
• ▢ 1 jalapeno, de-seeded and finely diced
• ▢ Juice of 1 lime
• ▢ ½ cup (118 g) chopped crispy peppered bacon, plus more for topping
• ▢ ⅓ cup (41 g) crumbled queso fresco, plus more for topping
• ▢ Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions 

• To char and roast the poblanos, turn the flame on a gas cooktop on high and place the poblano peppers onto the grates. Using tongs, flip the poblano peppers every so often until the outside of the poblano is charred on all sides. Place in a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let the steam do its job. After about 10-15 minutes, you’ll be able to peel the skin off the outside and reveal a beautifully roasted poblano pepper that you can de-seed, chop, and use!
  3 poblano peppers
• Place chopped poblanos in the same bowl you used above. Then add the rest of the ingredients for the guacamole. Mash to your desired consistency with a potato masher or fork or similar. Season to taste.
  3 avocados, 1/2 cup (80 g) chopped red onions, 1 jalapeno, de-seeded and finely diced, Juice of 1 lime, 1/2 cup (118 g) chopped crispy peppered bacon, 1/3 cup (41 g) crumbled queso fresco, Salt and pepper
• Sprinkle additional bacon and queso fresco on top, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips!
