A quick and easy guacamole recipe featuring creamy ripe avocados blended with smoky roasted red peppers for a flavorful twist. Perfect for parties or a simple snack, ready in under 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup roasted red bell peppers, chopped (jarred or freshly roasted)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste (sea salt or kosher salt recommended)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, a pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the roasted peppers: If using fresh, char red bell peppers on a grill pan over medium-high heat or under the broiler, turning occasionally until blackened on all sides (about 10 minutes). Place peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skin. Peel off the skin, remove seeds, and chop finely. If using jarred, drain and chop.
  2. Mash the avocados in a medium mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher to your desired chunkiness, leaving some small lumps for texture. Immediately add fresh lime juice to prevent browning.
  3. Add the chopped roasted peppers, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, and garlic to the mashed avocado. Mix gently but thoroughly to combine all flavors.
  4. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir gently and adjust seasoning or lime juice as needed.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap pressed directly on the guacamole surface to minimize air exposure. Let rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Use a fork instead of a blender to mash the avocado for better texture and to avoid watery guacamole. If roasted peppers taste too bitter, rinse briefly before chopping. Store guacamole with plastic wrap pressed on the surface to minimize browning. Jalapeño is optional and can be adjusted for heat preference.
