    It's made on repeat in our house; we spread on toast with eggs, we add it to the obvious like tacos and nachos and we even swap out the cheese on vegan pizzas with dollops of this flavourful guac!

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for a spicy quacamole recipe.
    Ingredients
    • Avocados
    • Jalapeños 
    • Garlic
    • Lime juice
    • Sweet onion
    • Olive oil
    • Salt
    • Cilantro

    See the recipe card below for exact quantities

    Instructions 

    Roast the Garlic

    Slice off the very top of the garlic head. Drizzle with a splash of olive oil and wrap in foil. Place on a sheet tray and bake until tender when pierced with a knife and is fragrant, 40-50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Extra garlic can be spread on toast or sandwiches.

    Char the Jalapeño

    Char the jalapeño directly on a grill, gas stove burner or roasted in the oven. Once charred, remove the jalapeño, place it in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a plate. Let steam for about 5 minutes. Using a paper towel, wipe off charred skin, slice in half, remove seeds and finely dice.

    Mix together

    Place all ingredients into a molcajete (or bowl & fork) and mix to desired consistency.

    Alternatively, toss all the pre-chopped ingredients (except the avocados and cilantro) into a mini food processor and blitz. Then add the avocado & cilantro and process to desired consistency.

    Mix the spicy guacamole ingredients.

    Place in a bowl and cover tightly, to keep from browning, until ready to serve.
