Creamy Spicy Guacamole Recipe - A Delicious Twist on a Mexican Classic | Club Foody
If you’d ask me what are my top 3 cuisines, Mexican is right up there. When I went to Puerto Vallarta in 1988 with my boyfriend, I was amazed! My first experience visiting Mexico was absolutely delightful! The people are so charming, the culture is rich and the food… oh my! It’s fabulous!
Although my palate wasn’t accustomed to spicy food, I still enjoyed it with “mucho crema” to calm down the “heat”. One dish I didn’t need anything to tame down the spiciness was Guacamole. Obviously it became my favorite dish until I was able to handle spicier dishes.
When I met David, he just swept me off my feet with his charm (still under the spell to this day), his great sense of humor (he always makes sure to make me laugh every day even when I’m stressed to the max…), his looks – he’s pretty handsome, all the things we had in common (when you’re with someone for a long time, it seems there’s more and more you have in common as the relationship grows over the years), his style and his cooking! That’s right… He also got me by pleasing my stomach… lol!
When I came to the West Coast to visit him, he surprised me with his version of Guacamole. I was skeptical as I had the best in Mexico but boy was I ever wrong! His blew me away! He just decided to elevate this classic Mexican condiment to a whole new level and here are his reasons…
Why do you need to have three different dips for nachos? …he thought. Therefore he decided to combine mild guacamole with sour cream plus other ingredients such as red onion, red pepper, garlic, and his favorite hot sauce, mimicking salsa. The tomatoes were dismissed because “they are too watery”, he thought. So that is how he came up with this flavorful Creamy Spicy Guacamole!
Each time I need to incorporate guacamole into one of my recipes, this is THE ONE I use. It’s quite a taste sensation compared to “typical” guacamole. We also like to enjoy it as a meal with some tortilla chips especially during summer time when the weather is hot and neither of us feels like cooking or eating heavy.
It’s a beautiful balance of spiciness and if you’re expecting mild, boring guacamole, you’ll be shocked because it’s definitely not. On the other hand, it is a delicious change and I won’t be surprised if THIS ONE will become your go-to guacamole from now on… Bon Appétit!
