Rustic Guacamole

Creamy, smoky, fresh — always a favourite. Charring the aromatics first is what gives this one its campfire depth.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1–2 tbsp lime juice
• ¼–½ tsp salt
• 1 charred jalapeño, minced
• ½ serrano pepper, minced
• 2 tbsp charred onion
• ½–1 tsp chipotle in adobo
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp cilantro
• 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Char the aromatics in a dry skillet until smoky and blistered.
2. Mash the avocados until creamy with rustic chunks.
3. Add the lime, salt, and olive oil for the silky base.
4. Fold in the jalapeño, serrano, chipotle, smoked paprika, onion, and cilantro.
5. Adjust the heat to taste — serrano for sharp heat, chipotle for smoky heat.

A pinch of cumin or a spoonful of fire-roasted tomato adds campfire warmth and deepens the smoky profile.
